Grammar
one another vs. one other
In the following movie review excerpt, I encountered the term one other, which I think should be one another or each other. Do you guys agree with me?
What would you prefer among the three expressions?
****
The two agents are also close friends, so when they discover they're both dating Lauren (Reese Witherspoon), they enter into a gentleman's agreement that stipulates they not interfere with one other, allow Lauren to choose the best man for her, and walk away from Lauren if seeing her begins to affect the men's friendship.

CliveYou're right. The writer meant 'one another'.Thanks Clive!
So it can never be one other and it's more like a typo?
Also, can I also use each other instead?
