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?

OK, my German is pretty rusty. But that's beside the point. Look here:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_pronouns
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_personal_pronouns
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_pronouns

In both languages the forms for case as well as for possession are still considered pronouns, or the inflected versions of them. English is shares a lot of its ancestry with French and German; it's lost most of inflection in nouns and adjectives, but kept inflection in pronouns. It's only logical to consider words "her", "him" and "his" inflections of pronouns in consistency with their purpose and role in cognate languages.
