SOMEONES’

SOMEONES’
Someone’s is correct, The possessive adjective for someone.
However, you would not use sometime’s, but sometimes.
And I don’t care if I am disliked, sometimes I hate myself.
Ok but paragraphs are non negotiable.

I’d take issue with that WN. The apostrophe before the “s” signifies it has been shortened from “is”, eg, “someone is coming to see you” gets shortened to “someone’s coming to see you”
However, in the case of the pic in the op there is no need for an apostrophe at all, and at a push it would go after the “s”.
Having said that, what do I know? Never took a great deal of notice at skool tbh.

Oh dear! Back to school for you!
Do they do a CPC module in basic grammar?

Nope, “someone’s” is correct, as it’s a possessive. “Someone’s dog” is the punctuated the same as “someone’s coming to see you”, it just means something different. It would only go after the “s” in the case of a word which already ended in “s” - James’ dog - or a plural - the windows’ frames.
Don’t blame me, I just know this stuff, I didn’t invent it.

. I like that. Rhythm Thief, in the example I gave ( someone is coming) can be contracted to “someone’s”, in that I’m sure we agree. My point however was that in the original picture there was no need for an apostrophe.
But I do enjoy these type of threads, much more enjoyable than smelly trucks or what Mark bloody Dixon had for breakfast!

Me too. My pet hate, and something everyone I know from London tends to do, (yes I know not EVERYONE in London) is the ‘could of’, ‘could have’ ‘could’ve issue’.
Oh, and people that say the following… ‘Can I get’ instead of ‘could I have’, (poor, but better than get) or ‘may I have’ or ‘Might I have’ (much better). In a retail situation the only way the first example could be correct is if the person serving them allowed the customer to get the article for themselves. Honestly, you’d think folk would know how to use modal auxiliary verbs!
‘Can I get…’ is another example of how the Americans are slowly murdering the language.
