"A Week's notice"

[Pan]

Have never seen this with the apostrophe. Am I correct in thinking it should be there??

Is it not one week notice or 2 weeks notice?

The apostrophe is correct. Possessive.

If it's one week - if it's two weeks then it's two weeks' notice.

i think.

so should "two weeks notice" also have an apostrophe? Seems reasonable??

I have seen it with the apostrophe and would expect one. There was something of a pedants' revolt over the film title Two Weeks [sic] Notice.

Agree with KatyMac

a week's [worth of] notice, I think, pan, so yes, "a week's notice." A week notice? NOooo!

I'm giving you one week notice that so&so must happen by such&such? No - maybe not

Pan - yes, it should. The posters advertising the film with Hugh Grant had it wrong. Lynne Truss mentions them in her book and refers to being tempted to go round defacing them.

sorry, that was very unclear.

A week's notice. [the notice of a week]

In a month's time. [The time belonging to a month]

Hope that is vastly clearer?

Oh Lordy, I have just gone to bed and this thread popped into my head and it dawned on me just how wrong I was in my original post. Of course it is one week's notice or two weeks' notice. Doh!

So I had to come downstairs and make amends -- I do not want people to think of me as dumb on my first posting in pendants' corner!

(That thinwhiteduchess is a real thicko.)

It's defo, one week's notice and two weeks' notice.

Can go back to bed now!
