Anyone else than you

Anyone else than you would have complained.

My understanding of the sentence above is that you are the only one who wouldn't have complained when all others would have complained.

Is my understanding correct?

anonymous Is my understanding correct? Yes, but the sentence isn't. "Than you" is redundant with "anyone else".

Yes, but the sentence isn't. "Than you" is redundant with "anyone else". It should be "Anyone else would have complained", or if you must have "than you", "Anyone other than you would have complained."
