    The reasoning for the punctuation of “Jr.,’s” is pretty straightforward. It’s a collision of conventions.http://nyer.cm/GxR8YKC

        My copy of the article is missing the part with sound grammatical reasoning behind the convention.

        Grammatical reasoning. Quite an oxymoron!

        Wow, condescension and an exclamation point. I knew I shouldn't have commented on a grammar post by the New Yorker.

        The "comma after Jr." is antiquated and pretty useless. Let it go. "Don Jr.'s" is far less visually jarring than "Don Jr.,'s" is.

        Technically it is correct, but modern styling loses the period after Jr. in possessive case. Too much punctuation destroys brain synapses

        Me, too! But when you have more punctuation than letters in the target word, it's time to rethink things!

        Just admit it. You (apostrophe of the other sort) have a love of being fey. If you were a human, not a mag, you'd have bangs the size of NJ.

        The comma in the middle of "Jr.'s" doesn't make sense.

        It's due to the preceding comma, but neither seem necessary. Donald Trump Jr. Looks right to me, but they write Donald Trump, Jr.,. Dumb.
