I'm curious how Carla managed to do an entire song about the things she
finds disturbing about Dr Pepper without mentioning the absence of the .
after "Dr" on the label...I'm far from the first person who's noticed this,
and at least quasi-serious scholarship has gone into finding out why it's
missing....

Anybody?...r

Is it British? I seem to notice British people leaving out the period at the end of abbreviations like Dr.

It's not British in the case of Dr Pepper (the explanation given by the
company is that it just looks better on the can without it), but they do
have a different rule...as I understand it, either you don't need the
period as long as the abbreviation doesn't spell a word, or you don't need
it if the abbreviation includes the last letter of the unabbreviated word,
both of which apply in the case of Dr....r
