Hi,
I see the word ok is written in 2 ways : ok and o.k. with fullstops .
Which on is correct ?
According to Mr. Ms. Mrs. .......... Are they always written with capital letter even if they are in the middle of the sentence??
( may be the questions are too easy but please forgive me these day because I am sick and I have much work to do. My brain is blocked )
Thanks a lot:))

Titles..ie Mr, Mrs, etc are always written with a capital letter regardless of position. They are part of a person �s name and so must have capitals. The same goes for Dr. Prof, Cpt, Col. etc.
Both ok and o.k. are acceptable. I don �t think you can call one or the other "correct". Both are slang and slang starts off as a spoken word and the spelling becomes established by usage.
Think of "bungee" jumping, humoungous and gynormous. Quite common words but with no formal prescribed spelling as yet.
Does this help?

for Mr. Ms. Mrs. these are abbreviations this why they are written with fullstops and capital letters ,another reason is they refer to proper nouns which always written with capitals

If you were a university graduate, preparing to teach English, why are you using Arabic in a site meant for English teachers from all over the world? Don �t you think it would be a better idea to start practising your English language knowledge by using this same language to communicate with people here on this site.
