With the adjective, we say 'possible to become', but I don't think that's possible with the noun. I came across an example of this in my work a few days ago, and thought about it, before changing it.

Jan 18, 2008 · Strictly speaking, "my" is the only "correct" variation. "Coming" is a (are you ready for this, Suzi_br? It's a common-or-garden, behind-the-bike-shed..) GERUND (a verb form used as a noun) and the genitive (i.e. possessive) pronoun "my" qualifies it. "me" would need to be the direct object of the verb "mind," but then what is "coming"?

Aug 19, 2008 · I couldn't find any cases of "th" becoming "f" in Greek, but then I thought of the Ancient Gr. Θάττον (fast) and Fast.
