When using abbreviations for countries, names, and other things do you put a period after the last letter.
U.S or U.S.?
T.V or T.V.?

Yes you do. 

Also, it's not "grammer," it's "grammar."

What are you writing for?  I think it usually looks better if you at least write out television.

No, only one period, not two.

Just spell out television, unless you aren't allowed for whatever reason.

Most of the time abbreviations are not appropriate. Write it out. 


Just wait until you get to quotation rules. Those are fun.

Spell it like it sounds.
Use lots of commas.

Oh, you mean, like this?
Also: Don't use "that" too much. For some reason a lot of people do..er...that.

I'm not a serious person.

You shouldn't abbreviate with periods at the end of a sentence.
