If more than two people are involved (let's say a whole book club), we would say that they gave one another books. This rule (if it is one) should be applied circumspectly. It's quite possible for the exchange of books within this book club, for example, to be between individuals, making "each other" just as appropriate as "one another."

Reciprocal pronouns can also take possessive forms:

They borrowed each other's ideas.
The scientists in this lab often use one another's equipment."

--Source

Another modifies one, one another's

You would not have "The scientists in this lab often use another's equipment."


One is a noun in this case, referring to person or thing

One:
a single person or thing: If only problems would come one at a time!

So again, "another" is not a noun. DM is using it as a noun it looks like

Right...like teachers "those that can, do. Those that can't, teach"

Used in precisely the same form as:

"The scientists in this lab often use another's equipment."


In this case, the word "another" is being used as an adjective, modifying "equipment."

However, it would also be correct to say:

"The scientists in this lab often use the equipment of another." In this case, "another" is functioning as a noun, as the object of preposition at the end of a prepositional phrase.

"Pronouns are substitutes for nouns that have the same functions as nouns do." --Source

"Another" is an indefinite pronoun that can also function as an adjective.

"Another" is an indefinite pronoun that can also function as an adjective.

Actually in that case it's still a pronoun. "Another computer" is an adjective. It tells us there is more than one computer involved.

"Another's" seems to be modifying "scientists" as a possessive pronoun, however according to what you posted earlier it should read

"The scientists in this lab often use one another's equipment."

In the second case, it's still a pronoun modifying scientist. What it means is

"The scientists in this lab often use the equipment of another [scientist] ."

And again according to what was posted earlier it should be

"The scientists in this lab often use the equipment of one another."

So who are you or any other democrat to take the hard earned money of one person and give it to another? Thieves do that. Democrats are too lazy and selfish to give to the poor on their own.

Now, DM...how about putting your money where YOUR mouth is and tell us how much ABOVE the required taxes you give to the government?
If democrats REALLY cared about the poor, they'd be giving at the very least 75% their income to the government so it can be re-distrubuted.
So, how much do YOU pay above the required amount?

I've yet to hear one single tax and spend democrat do any such thing. They're all talk and no action.

I find it rather amazing that you leave Christian principles at the door when it comes to politics.
The Word of God is suppose to influence every single area of our lives.

The democrats support, encourage and live off the bodies of dead babies, I can't fathom why anyone who calls themselves a Christian could possibly vote democrat. And don't give me how democrat presidents don't go to war or even dare to compare the wholesale slaughter of innocent, helpless children in the womb to national defense.

So, how much is it, DM, how much above the required taxes do you give?

Every so often you see the figures of what different folks give as religious or charitable giving. From what I remember the more conservative people give more than the liberal ones. I realize that "Hollywood" folks like Rosie ODonnell and Oprah give large amounts to charity, but what I'm thinking of is the "political" ones like Jessie Jackson and Al Sharpton who want more "government" money given to their racist causes but are tighter on the purse strings when it comes to their own personal giving.
