When it comes to inspiring controversies this week, 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:。 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?! 。SEE ALSO:Court settles debate that’s divided grammar nerds for decades 。 It all started when 。The New Yorker。
published an article, "Donald Trump, Jr.,'s Love for Russian Dirt." Seems like a pretty typical headline.。Credit: The NEw Yorker。
Except, wait just one damn second. What's this?!。Credit: The New Yorker, MaShable Composite 。
That's four punctuation marks in between four characters, which is, aesthetically speaking, excessive AF. 。
It's the grammar equivalent of this GIF: 。

A Futile and Stupid Gesture。

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:。 Let's just take another look at it, real quick:。Credit: The NEw Yorker。Oh, and in case you were wondering, yes, the article was a direct clap back at Michael Colton's initial tweet, as evidenced by the fact。
The New Yorker 。 literally embedded Colton's tweet at the top of the article. (。Writer's note: Yassss, New Yorker. A trolling!)。
And, taking everything in stride,
The New Yorker。
also noted that the decision is likely to be as controversial as the publication's use of diaeresis (you know, those two dots that appear above the second vowel in words like “naïve”) and for its use of double consonants.。
"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.。
