	Comments:	The period after Dr, Mr, etc. is an AmE convention. I don't use it but it doesn't fuss me.

	Comments:	I think this is the style; entries like 氏, 夫人 etc. drop the period.

	Comments:	It is important to include the sense "manner" for this entry. This sense is often used in Japanese dictionaries explanations. E.g.: そろ‐そろの解説［副］１動作が静かにゆっくりと行われるさま。そろり。「そろそろ（と）歩く」「幕がそろそろ（と）上がる」
