Argh, it's catching. ;-)

In British English (and most of the rest of the commonwealth, e.g. Australia, etc.) Mr, Mrs, Dr, and so on do not have the .

The . is standard after Mr., Mrs., Dr., etc. in the U.S. and in Canada (or so I hear - I guess Canada sold out :-P

Tatoeba is not specific so Mr does _not_ need correcting to Mr. unless the sentence is clearly American English.

Noting sentences as specifically American / British English is not done as yet, but could be implemented later through meta data or by different flags.
