Hmm. Good one. But if I were phrasing that I’d say:

Along with changing others’ minds, that clerk changed mine as well.

They are both incorrect. The clerk HAS changed my mind.

First one is correct as others’ implies others’ minds. The second one implies that he will change the others rather than their minds.

lol neither.

This is the right one:

That clerk has changed my mind, and I think he will change some others as well.

G is for Grover
they’re both right.

the first one shows ownership meaning he will change other people’s minds

the second means he will change other minds

minds can be the noun all by itself or it can belong to an understood noun “other people” either way works 🙂
