whats the difference between somones and someone's ?

which is the right form?

...someone's mother, someone's father or someone's child.

or ... someones mother, someones father or someones child.

"Someone's" is the correct form. I'm not quite sure why the spellchecker recognizes "someones" as a word.

Hi, neuromancer!

"Someone's" needs the "e" in the middle to assist the reader with pronunciation. I don't know why, but if it were not there, it would be pronounced differently (even in our head).

"So" is pronounced differently than "sow", and because of the many antonyms and synonyms in the English language (words that sound alike but mean something different or words that are spelled the same but mean something entirely different), we have to put an "e" at the end of some words to differentiate the sound and clarify the meaning.

Yes, I am even confused by this! Does (see...if the "e" were not there, the pronunciation would be a hard "o" as in...groan..."doe" and the plural of "doe" is "does.") anyone have a better answer?
Really good question! Consider me baffled! Teehee!

Someone's is correct. It is a possessive case. also. It is always singular in form, even though it may refert to a group of individuals.

As to the spelling, it is a kind of compound word, so the 'e' stays as it would if the words were separated, like some one's.

Is that any more clear?

I think the spellchecker accepts the word because the programmer has not distinguished this particular word out of the millions of plural word possibilities.

It also sounds like a foreign food -- so-mo-nes!

someone's - is a possessive form and a correct form

Hi! neuromancer

Someones it seems like a poor statement and espeacial in English subject so therefore someone"s is the perfect one

Someone's= Someone is.
Is someones even a word?

Yes, it is a misgrammatisized word. :D

Me thinks it is a word, "someones"
that holds no meaning really
possessive it is not, nor mult
Unless you count tom-foolery

Only with poetic license...
