Unfortunately, scowl includes over 700 abbreviations (even after ignoring the ones in all caps which are acronyms). None of them have an ending period that in any way would indicate that the word is abbreviated.
I have attached the list.
The problem is people have started dropping the "." from the most common abbreviations like cm, mm, ft, in, Mrs, Mr, Dr, PhD, etc which just confuses things even more.
I have attached the list of over 700 abbreviations that should probably either have an ending period added or be removed as they hide common spelling errors and end up polluting suggestions with nonsense.
Feedback welcome as to how best to treat these "words".
