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?

Just because her is derived etymologically from a pronoun doesn't make it an inflected form of a pronoun. The inflected form of the pronoun "she" would be "hers." The adjective "her" is related to it, yes, but that doesn't make it a pronoun in itself. It's actually a determiner. Some determiners can serve as both adjectives and pronouns, like "this" and "that", but "her" cannot. It can only describe nouns and cannot stand in for a noun by itself. Maybe a proadjective is the better term for it.

"Sussman's" is a noun because it's the possessive form. Yes, it can describe other nouns, as in "Sussman's book", but it can also stand by itself, as in "I read that book, but Sussman's is better."

Now don't get me wrong, some adjectives can act as nouns, as in "red is my favorite color" or "hand me the reds" (in reference to cigarettes.) But possessive adjectives cannot do this.
