Annotation: Abbreviation for "do it yourself," frequently used as an adjective as in "That store caters to the DIY market."

You would generally not see "DIY" as a standalone sentence (since it's not emphatic enough), but if you did, it would end with a period.

DIY. or D.I.Y. ?

AlanF_US AlanF_US March 19, 2017 March 19, 2017 at 8:18:10 PM UTC link Permalink

I guess either would be okay, but I would prefer to just delete it, since we already have "Do it yourself."
