Possesive for zero years of experience

Hi all,

Quick question:

When talking in "years experience" I understand it will be, for example, "1 year's experience" or "3 years' experience". What is the situation for "0 years experience"? Where should the possessive apostrophe sit within this?

Thanks in advance,

Steve.

Thanks Clive - it is a bit quirky, but is being used on an online form with a select menu denoting the years. The 'years' updates dynamically to correct the grammar. Is there a best case use of the apostrophe here?

If you say 0 years' experience, I don't think anyone will quibble.
