anyone else vs other's.

[david11]

I don't know about anyone else but the Like button is in the lower right-hand corner of all the comments on my screen!

I don't know about other's but the Like button is in the lower right-hand corner of all the comments on my screen!

What is the difference between these two sentences?​

The second one is incorrect because of the apostrophe "s".

I thought anyone else means anyone else screen.

 

[bhaisahab]

I thought anyone else means anyone else screen.

If you want to say that, you'd have to write "anyone else's".

 

[david11]

If you want to say that, you'd have to write "anyone else's".

Then I think it will mean that I don't know about anyone and I know that

the Like button is in the lower right-hand corner of all the comments on my screen​

Wouldn't anything else be appropriate there?

It's possible, but it has a different meaning.

Then, Does the original post mean that I don't anyone and I know only that that the button is on the right handed side?

Why should she/he say anyone? because we, usually, say anything when we are referring to some things(In this case she/he speaks about button in her/his latter part of the sentence).

I don't know about (the situation with) anyone else but (on my screen) the Like button is in the lower right-hand corner of all the comments on my screen!
I don't know about anything else but (I do know about the Like button the Like button is in the lower right-hand corner of all the comments on my screen!

Then, how does it become wrong with other's(situation)?

I don't know about other's but the Like button is in the lower right-hand corner of all the comments on my screen! :cross:

You would need: I don't know about others' situation, but the Like button is in the lower right-hand corner of all the comments on my screen.

Far more natural would be ... anybody else's situation ... or ... the situation with other people/others ...

With either others' or anybody else's you need a noun following the word to show what the noun + 's 'possesses'.

In such sentences as those below, the intended meaning is clear to native speakers. :

I don't know about anyone else, but the Like button is in the lower right-hand corner of all the comments on my screen.
I don't know about other people, but the Like button is in the lower right-hand corner of all the comments on my screen.
I don't know about anything else, but the Like button is in the lower right-hand corner of all the comments on my screen.[/QUOTE]

This would have made me understand it very clear.

Thank you 5jj.(nice to see you again now)
