Gerunds!
One of the great mysteries of life for me was solved today. The lovely people over at fandom_grammar answered my question, which (though I didn't know it!) was about the use of possessives with gerunds.

Every single time I've seen this done either correctly or incorrectly in the past few years, I've stopped, and puzzled, and wondered. Now I know! Thank you, fandom_grammar!
