I would put Frank Junior if it keeps coming up in the transcript. I don't think Frank Jr. looks right. The witness is not saying Frank Jrr (I don't know how to put it to have it make sense). The witness is saying Frank Junior.

I think the comma is an individual preference.

I did find this, referenced below:

It is no longer required to use commas before and after these elements, as they are considered part of the name.

Marshall Flint Jr. addressed the crowd.
Jason Milquevay III boarded the flight to New Zealand.

I don't use the comma. Frank Jr.

Sheesh! Must be a full moon out tonight for me. It seems like I keep running into the word stumbles.

Here's a word oddity I discovered. It's "New York Best Seller List," but a book that is on the list is a "bestseller" (all one word).

That's where I went wrong, LeAnne. I searched for "heartily" and "hardily," as opposed to "hearty" and "hardy." And here I thought I was a good little Googler. LOL!

Thanks again! :)

All I did was type in "hearty hardy" in Google, and there were a whole bunch of sites that popped up.

Oh, wow, LeAnne. Thanks so very much. Those explanations you so kindly provided are GREAT. I feel confident now that the word is "heartily." I am going to print those explanations out and keep them. It is not like these words come up all the time, but when they do, it's like a stop sign for me. Now I won't stumble anymore. Thanks again.

Found this on wsu.edu: These two words overlap somewhat, but usually the word you want is "hearty.” The standard expressions are “a hearty appetite,” “a hearty meal,” a “hearty handshake,” “a hearty welcome,” and “hearty applause." "Hardy” turns up in “hale and hardy,” but should not be substituted for "hearty” in the other expressions. “Party hearty” and “party hardy” are both common renderings of a common youth saying, but the first makes more sense.

And this on Bartleby.com: These two sound much alike and can easily be mistaken for each other in the spoken language. Hardy means “strong, daring, able to withstand stress” and, of plants, “able to live through the winter.” She’s a hardy person, at eighty-two still caring for her own house and garden. Hearty means “cordial, enthusiastic, unrestrained, vigorous,” as in She gave us a hearty welcome followed by an equally hearty dinner.

Heartily or hardily, that's the question.

Example 1. Defense is very important, and I heartily concur with the others on this topic.
Example 2. Defense is very important, and I hardily concur with the others on this topic.

I looked up the meanings of "heartily" and "hardily," and they both seem to fit. Which one do you think it is? I am leaning towards "heartily," but I may be wrong. HELP!
