Why is there an "n" ?

[edit]

"Jnr" is not a standard nor accepted abbreviation for "Junior".

Can this be corrected to just "Jr." ?

Just curious. 2600:8800:784:8F00:C23F:D5FF:FEC4:D51D (talk) 15:33, 1 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The simple answer is that he is often called that. see: https://www.independent.ie/sport/golf/golf-legend-gordon-brand-jnr-60-passes-away-just-two-weeks-after-commentating-at-the-open-38365472.html Maybe a UK/US difference. See: MOS:JUNIOR. Nigej (talk) 15:43, 1 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Technically, Jnr. should also have a full stop (full point) after it, being an abbreviation. Maybe they thought, what's the point?! Editrite! (talk) 02:44, 6 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
