As is "M<sup>gr</sup>" for Monseigneur in French ("Mgr" without
superscripts makes little sense, and if "Mr" is sometimes found as an
abbreviation for "Monsieur", its standard abbreviation is "M.", and its
plural "Messieurs" is noted "MM" without any abbreviation dot or
superscript, but normally never as "Mrs" or "M<sup>rs</sup>"). If someone
finds "Mgr" without the superscript, it could think it is an English
abbreviation for "Manager" (a term now frequently used in the modern
"Frenglish" language used in French business)...
