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

        I'm so glad people are finally shifting focus to the much more pervasive and important issues of grammar and punctuation. It's about time.

        One must first know the rules of style in order to break them. It is clear from this train wreck, that this particular rule needs breaking.

        Stop using that Oxford comma as well. It's BS too.

        No, no, and NO! The Oxford comma is a visual clue for readers to anticipate the end of a list. Let's not get lazy, unconventional, and dumb!

        Not to be diacritical, but the fact that you didn't call this your, "preëxisting convention," disappoints me.

        If your style guide produces bad results, you might consider changing some conventions.

        I think it's a "collusion" of conventions.

        Andrew, we all knew *why*. What we don't understand is why you don't allow exceptions to avoid such aesthetically grotesque constructions.
