      Unfortunate side effect of the scandal is this period-comma-apostrophe bullshit from the New Yorker.pic.twitter.com/ITijnSXOWn

      The reasoning for the punctuation of “Jr.,’s” is pretty straightforward. It’s a collision of conventions.http://nyer.cm/ysp1bIg

          When pretentious conventions supersede readability you have lost your way.

          Could you use a couple more semicolons in that piece? Wouldn't want to leave any doubt about how pretentious your copy editors are.

          Understand what you're doing, but the accepted combination of conventions is "Jr.'s,", where the Jr. bears the possessive & comma follows.

          But @ananavarro's succinct unpunctuated "Trumpito" is an appropriate alternative when Tweeting.

          I'm sorry but this explanation is stupid. Just drop the apostrophe or put the comma after the 's'.

          Also, if the abbreviation ends in the same letter as the whole word, no . required.

          They could have even written Junior in full to spare us all this foolishness. After all, no one is forcing them to use an abbr.',
