Let's reinvent the fucking scrollbar, which every goddamn platform with a UI already has, and make it behave subtly different from the native one!

Right-click a native scrollbar in some other app:
- Scroll Here
- Top
- Bottom
- Page Up
- Page Down
- Scroll Up
- Scroll Down

Right-click a scrollbar in Chrome:
- Back
- Forward
- Reload
- Save As...
...

Right-click a scrollbar in Firefox and Opera:
Absolutely fucking nothing happens!

What the fuck!? How did these terminally retarded idiots get involved in creating one of the most important pieces of software to the average user?

French has a distinction between possessive adjectives and possessive pronouns just like English does, for instance, "mon, ma, mes" are adjectives, but "le mien" is a pronoun. This is the case with English. "My" is not a pronoun, it is an adjective. "Mine", however, is a pronoun.

For instance, "c'est mon frere" (this is my brother - adjective) but also "ce frere est le mien" (this brother is mine - pronoun.)

This whole argument could have been avoided if you simply checked wikipedia.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Possessive_determiner

Examples in English include possessive forms of the personal pronouns, namely my, your, his, her, its, our and their, but excluding the forms such as mine and ours that are used as possessive pronouns and not as determiners.

So yes, these examples are inflected forms of personal pronouns, but they do not act as pronouns, they act as determiners - thus they are adjectives. The true possessive pronouns are words like mine, hers, yours, etc.
