Is it incorrect to use this in plural form, i.e. in the form on others' behalves? BigNate37 00:48, 8 January 2007 (UTC)Reply
- Not in either plural form. DCDuring TALK 18:01, 20 November 2012 (UTC)Reply
- It is interesting that speakers would be more likely to say "on the behalf of others" rather than "on the behal(ves/fs) of others". DCDuring TALK 18:08, 20 November 2012 (UTC)Reply
