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?

There is no need for the hostility in your opening line. I asked you a question politely. Yes, I know what anaphora is. My way of thinking was that something like "my house is brown" couldn't refer back to something that was previously mentioned if it was never mentioned to begin with. That is why I doubted it was anaphoric. I had not thought of your perspective, which is why I asked for it. Having considered it, I think you make a solid case for anaphora.

Furthermore, I didn't invent the term "determiner". Any foreign language student/linguist must learn their determiners: articles, numerals, demonstratives, quantifiers, etc. Many people consider possessive "adjectives" (or "proadjectives") to be determiners as well. I hope you realize that the term "proadjective" is used a lot less than "determiner" is.
