The word “elsewhere” conveniently exist to spare us the chore of saying “somewhere else”. Why then do we waste or time saying “someone else” or “some other time”?

    We do have the word elsewhen, it’s just not as commonly used. As for ‘someone else’, I have nothing.

      I found “elsewho” through another comment, it makes sense, I actually hesitated between typing it or “elseone”. I chose the latter because you say “someone else” and not “somewho else”; but “who” is closer to "where or “when”.
