Where do the apostrophe go ?

Read the following in a magazine:

"we enjoyed each others company"

Shouldn't it be "we enjoyed each others' company"? The more I think about it the less sure I am! Can anyone help?

Sorry, the title should say "where DOES the apostrophe go"!!!

Other's. Other is not plural.

If course, unless it was a group of "others" in which case it should be others', but there should definitely be an apostrophe somewhere!

It was referring to just two people, so WigWam is right I think. I originally thought that it should be "others'" because it referred to two people, but I see that you are saying it is applied to the "other" rather than the two people.

Thanks both!
