Excellent thought process on the differences in possessive pronouns. But what if you go for a more minimalist approach? What if your app doesn't use possessive pronouns at all? You could just display "Settings", "Settings have been saved!", "Profile picture has been changed." etc and I've seen apps that do this natively. Although, to a certain extent I suppose that proves his point, as apps will be forced to act as though they aren't using possessive pronouns if they use "My" - it would be a little strange to display messages like "My profile picture has been changed", etc. Using the possessive pronoun "Your" is the only one with special modifiers throughout the app's structure that don't sound redundant. |
