   Everyone is a singular word with no plural. It means "each person" or "every person". So, just like these two word expressions, words associated with everyone, or everybody, should be singular. "Everyone's life" is therefore the correct answer. Interestingly, "everyone's lives" actually sounds right to our ears.

   Is everyones a word?

   • As Robusto says, you should use everyone’s. Neither everyones’ nor everyones is a word. Note that everyone is always singular and cannot be pluralized, which means everyones is incorrect. If everyones were a word, everyones’ would be the possessive form of everyones, but since everyones is incorrect, everyones’ is also incorrect.

   May 15, 2007 · If neither God nor a soul exists, then, by this view, everyone’s life is meaningless. On the other hand, there is moderate supernaturalism, according to which spiritual conditions are necessary for a great or ultimate meaning in life, although not meaning in life as such.
