One of our online proofreading course students came across this sentence in a book:
‘It’s all she’s talking about at home at the moment, what with yours and a friend of hers weddings being just around the corner.’
The question: Is hers correct here? Or should it be her’s or hers’s?
My reaction was ‘None of the above’, because the sentence was really badly written. It should have said: ‘A friend’s wedding’, or ‘Her friend’s wedding’.
But setting that aside, the answer is still ‘None of the above.’
There should not be an apostrophe!
