The possessive form of an indefinite pronoun. The personal pronouns
(and in particular the third person forms) seem to cause some people
problems when they try and form the possessives, which is odd as the
rules are really quite simple.
I've got a whole load of people working here whose English skills are
deeply suspect, but given the attention to detail that good engineering
requires they can at least get it right when it matters!
