"At least I referred to the great man as "Mr Frary" , but would he have preferred to see a full stop after "Mr" ?" 'Mr.' is commonplace in American English, but not in British English. A full stop is used only when the last letter of the abbreviation is different to the last letter of the abbreviated word, so 'Dr' and 'Revd' but 'Prof.' and 'Rev.'.
