I think that is an excellent example of why one should, in *most*
instances, put a full stop after a single letter. Those "most cases"
being when the single letter is, in fact, an abbreviation. Then when
the single letter is *not* an abbreviation, as in the case of Harry S
Truman and those German folk someone mentioned, the full stop is omitted
and Legacy is told to ignore this "error."
Provided one is consistent, it is then quite obvious which single
letters are initials (perhaps full name is still unknown) and which are
complete in themselves.
