\begin{document}
This is a sample document that illustrates abbreviations with
full stops (periods) and abbreviations that are words (i.e.\
acronyms). The examples switch to a typewriter font to make it
easier to see the inter-word and inter-sentence spaces.

The extension package glossaries-extra.sty provides a better way of
doing this.

First use: \gls{laser} \gls{eg} \gls{ie} \gls{bsc} \gls{ba} \gls{agm} end of
sentence.

End of sentence use:

\ttfamily

\gls{laser}. \gls{eg}. \gls{ie}. \gls{bsc}. \gls{ba}. \gls{agm}.
Done.

laser. e.g. i.e. B.Sc. B.A\@. A.G.M\@. Done.

\rmfamily

Mid-sentence use:

\ttfamily

\gls{laser} \gls{eg} \gls{ie} \gls{bsc} \gls{ba} \gls{agm} Done.

laser e.g.\ i.e.\ B.Sc.\ B.A. A.G.M. Done.

\rmfamily

Check other sentence terminators:

\ttfamily

\gls{laser}? \gls{eg}? \gls{ie}? \gls{bsc}! \gls{ba}! \gls{agm}? Done.

laser? e.g.? i.e.? B.Sc.! B.A.! A.G.M.? Done.

\rmfamily

\glsresetall Reset. End of sentence use:

\ttfamily

\gls{laser}. \gls{eg}. \gls{ie}. \gls{bsc}. \gls{ba}. \gls{agm}.
Done.

\rmfamily
