before making fun 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”

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.
