• This word declines like an adjective, and is used both adjectivally and as a noun.
• The shortened forms, such as andre or andern (instead of andere, anderen) are prevalent in pronunciation. It is also correct to use them in writing, although this has become less frequent over the past decades.
• The 1996 reform spelling rules as of 2011 allow spellings like Anderer when the word is used substantivally (§58 (5) E4). However, forms like this might be nonstandard.
