What is the appositive in - Lenny editor of magazine cannot spell?

The appositive in the sentence "Lenny, editor of the magazine, cannot spell" is "editor of the magazine".

Here's why:

* Appositives are words or phrases that rename or explain a noun or pronoun that comes before them.

* In this sentence, "editor of the magazine" renames Lenny. It tells us more about Lenny's profession.

* The appositive is set off by commas because it's not essential to understanding the sentence's meaning. We already know who Lenny is, even without the appositive.
