| I don't like the second. I'd say: It's five hours' drive from here. I think the article is wrong here. |

| Yep. I agree. But I wouldn't use the silly apostrophe after hours. |

| Many purists prefer it. I think it is on its way out, though. |

| This is clearly a possessive, so the apostrophe should be there. |

| It shouldn't have the apostrophe in this example because of the article. Without 'a', I'd agree with you.;-) |

| It gives sense and sounds better. |

| I think the second one seems to be the right one. However, the apostrophe is not necessary. |

| You're wrong Lidier; it's the first one. Secondly, if the article was not there, which would make the second right, the apostrophe would still be required. |
