We're having a debate about how to properly refer to our software product when it is installed on someone's computer and they're having trouble with it. Assuming our app is called WhizBang, there is a contingent here who would say, "Open your WhizBang and choose 'Options'". I argue it should be, "Open WhizBang and choose 'Options'".
For some reason I don't have a problem saying "I drove my Ford Explorer" but I wouldn't say "I read my Pride and Prejudice". The difference, I believe, is that my Ford Explorer is a physical object. I own one of many Ford Explorers that have been built. Pride and Prejudice, however, is an abstract thing. My copy of Pride and Prejudice is an instance of, or manifestation of, the abstract object. Software is similar: WhizBang is an abstract object; you may have an instance of it installed on your computer. You don't own WhizBang; you own a copy of it. So "your WhizBang" is incorrect (it implies that you are the owner of the abstract thing, not an instance of the thing).
Is there a right answer to this or is it just personal preference?
