| Come on, people, get up on your gerunds! There's a noun here, and who does it belong to? |

| It may be difficult to tell, but "asking" is also a verb. Besides, you should've said "...to whom does it belong?" |

| LYnque is right but slang prevails and folk etymology often wins. Many people in England and Australia pronounce "my" as "me" so that no difference can be heard when spoken aloud. |
