Apostrophe? - weeks of age


Posted: Oct 07, 2012

This dictator keeps stating "12 weeks of age," and I keep doubting myself whether it should be 12 weeks' of age or without an apostrophe? Anyone know? TIA

No apostrophe in this case - sm

Examples: 12 weeks' time, 12 weeks' gestation, but 12 weeks OF age.

Apostrophe? - Of age

Thanks so much!

The word of or and, etc., cancels out apostrophes - nm
