Those who object to this form argue that \u2018knowing\u2019 is a kind of gerund, which should not follow an object pronoun like \u2018them\u2019, but a possessive pronoun like \u2018their\u2019. Those who support this phrase maintain that \u2018knowing\u2019 here is a form of present participle, similar to a gerund, so that it is fine to use it to modify the pronoun \u2018them\u2019. There are many other cases following a similar pattern &#8211; combining object pronoun with a verb in -ing form.
