Twigs Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 It looks like the other else thread got deleted, but it had a good question (which I don't remember exactly). So … What is the correct use of "else's", as in 'someone "else's" idea'? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Mungo Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 http://www.education...ve-case/?page=2 If you use the word else after anybody, nobody, or somebody, place the apostrophe and the "s" after else, not after anybody, nobody, or somebody. This is somebody else's radio, not mine. Your business is nobody else's concern. eta: PERSONALLY, I don't like it and try to avoid it. I would change the last sentence to something like, "nobody else should be concerned with your business." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
