| LeinPočet příspěvků: 3389 | Hm - I will leave this to a native speaker.
Here, to avoid 'his or her' ('one's ' doesn't work here), people almost always say 'everyone has their own etc'.
I am not sure whether this counts as grammatically correct (yet), but major newspapers and magazines do this too.
Alternatively, I suppose I would say 'his own affairs'. |

| | Lein is right. Nowadays, "they" is becoming more and more acceptable as a pronoun for "he/she" or "everyone". But I have no idea what this writer meant to say. Did it originally say "their own affairs"? If so, it should be restored to its original state. |

| | But why is a Polish speaker submitting a translation in English? I'm not at all sure what happybean means with "affairs" - I would guess it means "other things to do", but that's just a guess. |

| | I understood what happtbean means by "affairs". It's something like "everyone minds their/his own business". I would like to translate it into Turkish after it is released. |
