Feb 22, 2017 · Recently, I was reading articles on the net and realised that there is a lot of ambiguity over the usage of Dr. and Dr, Er. and Er etc. I usually prefer the dot while writing Doctor (Dr.) or Engin. Oct 26, 2016 · "Dr." is an abbreviation for "doctor", and either can be used in most situations. However, it is not idiomatic to say, eg, "Frank is a Dr. at Memorial Hospital", or "Joe is sick so I called the Dr.".. I think when you use "Dr" or "Dr's" (with or without the period) as an abbreviation for Doctor, it's fine if used in an informal setting. After all, you are abbreviating the word "Doctor" in a generic sense,.
