The usage of apostrophe

Is it correct for me to use apostrophe with the word one?
For example,
One should mind one's business.
  

Top answer

Keith Leng One should mind one's business. That's fine in BrE, though one normally minds one's own business.

Hello namesake! I agree with fivejedjon, and even in BrE that would be considered fairly formal language.
