Subject:gerunds and possesion From:Kip Dale <kipd -at- SOFTLAW -dot- COM -dot- AU> Date:Tue, 20 Aug 1996 15:35:50 +1000
Rebecca M. Phillips asks about using a possesive with a gerund. I
have a feeling that this may be an example of language's changing
character (Ha...I knew I could do it).
I'm usually pretty good with spotting "incorrect" usage. I had to look
twice to find the "offending" passage. And now, my example looks
odd to me. Anyone else??
