Grammar
Use of you or your
Can anyone enlighten me as to the correct usage of you or your in a sentence such as -
With regard to you receiving the payment, please find my cheque enclosed OR
With regard to your receiving the payment, please find my cheque enclosed.
Am I correct in saying that both are correct or is one better English?
Many thanks
James

"Your" is correct. The gerund "receiving" takes the possessive adjective.
"You" is sometimes used casually.
