"Three weeks time." Would it be weeks or weeks'?
I have been in discussion with colleagues, which is correct (and it is very important) "We will be on in three weeks time" or We will be done in 3 weeks' time?" Thank you!

- When the numbers are more than two words in length, such as "500,000 boxes have arrived," write them out as figures.
- The few exception to this rule are easy to remember and come as common sense.
