    The New Yorker Retweeted Michael “Bolton”

    With “Jr.” occurring in the middle of a line, where else is the possessive indicator supposed to go? http://nyer.cm/ysp1bIg https://twitter.com/mikecolton/status/884843351479992321 …

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

        The apostrophe is correct. The second comma doesn't need to be there.

        Second comma needs to be there. "Junior" needs to be offset.

        AP Style tip: Abbreviate junior or senior as Jr. or Sr. only with full names and don't precede by a comma: Martin Luther King Jr.

        That's not the only style guide, and not the one NYer follows. Jr is either not offset (no commas) or fully offset (commas both sides).

        Nowhere. It's correct. But couldn't you have rephrased to avoid clunkiness? "Why Donald Trump, Jr., loves Russian dirt," or the like?

        It's not the possessive indicator. You have an extra comma.

        Drop the peccant comma. Orwell says break any rule to avoid doing something barbaric.

        Conventions are great, but when you have a clusterfuck of punctuation, why not just get rid of the offsetting commas in this specific case?

        @mikecolton U got into trouble with commas around "Jr." Looks cluttered, not common any more, not recommended by Chicago Manual.

        The comma seems misplaced but I'm pretty sure you've researched it.

        No issue with the possessive indicator but the commas are superfluous. Only use commas when their absence would lead to confusion...
