==Apostrophe==
What do you reckon about use of an apostrophe in the title of this article? I expected [[Hundred Years' War]] but did find that most books listed on Amazon UK omit it, and publishers' notes seem to specify that no apostrophe should be used (e.g. [http://www.blackwellpublishing.com/pdf/EHR_full_author_guidelines.pdf Blackwell]). However, I think the apostrophe is technically correct: cf. ''a few minutes' wait'' or ''three weeks' notice''. [[User:John Stephenson|John Stephenson]] 05:33, 30 May 2009 (UTC)
