On another forum I post on (where I've been slated for correcting punctuation - you can't help those whom think they're above help, or that you're bing arrogant in even attempting) posed me this one. I'm a little unsure. If I say "someone elses coat" is it: - someone elses' coat;
- someone else's coat;
- someone elses coat?
Thanks Vadim |

Thanks Vadim It's the coat of someone else, so someone else's coat, Vad. |

Vadim, Borrow it when they're not looking. Then it will be your coat, and you won't have to worry about an apostrophe. |
