Appreciating you and your
Friday, April 24th, 2009This is a quickie for a late Friday afternoon.
I just learned the reason why you would want to use you versus your in the following sentences:
• I really appreciate you helping me with this.
• I really appreciate your helping me with this.
Thanks to the AP Stylebook Web site, under the “Ask the Editor” section, I found the answer:
Either is correct, depending on where you want to put the emphasis: on the person or on the act?
Question answered!
Happy trails!
