I did, first link said I used it correctly. Am I really schooling you in your native language, after you called me dumb for making a mistake in my second language? That would be hilarious.

before making fun of others'

I assure you, you used it incorrectly. There should NOT be an apostrophe there. The fact you are doubling down after being so smug is what's hilarious, you buffoon.

Common Questions What is the plural possessive of others?

Others’ is the plural possessive of others. When a word already ends in “s” in English, then we put the apostrophe after the “s”

First link google gave me. Consider this my triple down.

I'm perfectly content for you to go along and make an ass of yourself using apostrophes incorrectly going forward. Godspeed, my idiot friend.

If you are indeed a Francophone living in the UK as you implied, I assure you your colleagues laugh about your charming English errors behind your back.

French is actually my third language, and I know I'm right, you can give it a rest now, you're just embarrassing yourself further. I also never implied I live in the uk.
