10I searched and found 'embryo develops hands' 02br
00so why not 'baby developed hands' - although I agree the google book search returns a negative?02br
00'Developed eyelids' turns up in google books. Having difficulty seeing why 'developed hands' can't work.02br
00Can 'this week' be a specific/exact time as it has a start, middle and end?02br
00To be an exact time, don't we have to say - as of this time this week or as of now this week?0-

0Well, the exact meaning of "as of this week" is: 01b00as things stand02b00 this week, 01b00as the situation is02b00 this week02br
00so, no, it doesn't quite work 0-
