I wish that CMOS, et al, would change it to just PM/AM or something. Typing the longer version is a PITA.

Just as you find A.M. annoying vs AM. I find the UK way of Mr, Dr, Jr, etc without the . (Mr., Dr., Jr.) annoying.

I wish English would standardize. (IMHO), why did the UK have to go so odd in some cases? The US and the UK started with the same English because the Pilgrims were from the UK. So what happened to the UK?
