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

        If the last comma is there to set off the phrase, shouldn't it belong after the phrase, Jr.'s, and not in the midd?le

        That was my question. The comma before the apostrophe s doesn't make sense and it's distracting to read.

        There's no justice on Twitter, just as well it wasn't around when Lemar was writing songs because it may have been the last straw :-(

        If your editing approach is becoming a subject of comment and justification then it's probably not doing a good job.

        You are still wrong to place a period after Jr. Abbreviations ending with the last letter of the original word do not have periods. Period.

        Exactly, that's why common sense, not pedantry, ought to have been applied.

        If your convention lead to that syntax, you need to rethink your convention.

        When conventions collide, pros throw out precedent and invent new, /rational/ convention.

        Let's face it. Junior is an apostrophe aspiring comma, period.
