When it comes to inspiring controversies this week,Watch Games of Seduction Online Donald Trump Jr. is the gift that keeps on giving. First there were the emails stating that junior would "love" to meet with a Russian government lawyer about incriminating Hillary Clinton info. Then there was the hidden nugget that, wow, those emails contain truly the worst email signature ever.
Now there is a new Donald Trump Jr. scandal that's got the internet shooketh: How exactly the hell are we supposed to punctuate this man's name?!

Period: "Brb, I gotta go help out the younger Donald Trump."
Apostrophe: "Oh fun, can I come too?"
The Comma Twins: "Ain't no way in hell y'all are leaving us out of this punctuation intervention."
Period: "FINE, WE'LL JUST DO THIS THING TOGETHER THEN!"
Or, in the words of Michael Colton, ex-Washington Postjournalist and writer for the upcoming film A Futile and Stupid Gesture, this is bullsh*t.

The New Yorker, though, is sticking to its guns. The head of The New Yorker'scopy department, Andrew Boynton,posted a story on Wednesday, "The Correct Punctuation of Donald Trump, Jr.,'s Name," that outlines exactly why the publication unleashed their punctuation army.
"The reasoning for the punctuation of “Jr.,’s” is pretty straightforward. It’s a collision of conventions."
Let's just take another look at it, real quick:

"This styling doesn’t come up very often in the magazine, and its occurrence in a headline of sorts has brought it a weird kind of notoriety. Now it can comfortably stand alongside the diaeresis and 'focussing,'" writes Boynton
At the end of the day, punctuation debate aside, the meaning is the same: The President of the United States' son said he would love a meeting with a Russian government lawyer to talk HRC dirt.
And while everyone is sorting out what that means, make sure you take a second and smell the commas. After all: hell hath no fury like a grammar nerd scorned.
