  But punctuation rules might be very different, e.g. in Spanish ordinal numerals are supposed to have a dot to denote that it’s a contraction: 1.º

  Nowadays this seems to die down, but it still is in the rules:

  Entre el número y la letra volada debe haber un punto.

  There must be a period between the number and the superscript letter.

    Do any of those languages actually have a rule that you’re supposed to put a dot in the middle of “et,” though? It’d be pretty weird if they did because “et” is one word…
