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?

No they're not. Proadjectives replace adjectives and govern the verb as a subject or object. They do not modify nouns.

Consider the following examples:

I am stoned. Much more so than I wanted to be.
My cat is white, but my dog is more so.

We can tell they're not determiners because determiners are allowed to take other adjectives, but proadjectives cannot, since they take the place of an adjective to begin with. (I can't even come up with an example of this - it's too ridiculous and nonsensical.)

"My" cannot stand on its own, nor can it replace adjectives. In all contexts, "my" replaces nouns, and it must be behind a noun when governing a verb... otherwise the pronoun "mine" is used.
