Bug Description

1. On the page for reporting a bug about a project, enter a summary.
2. On the "Is the bug you’re reporting one of these?" page, click one of the bug summaries, then "Yes, this is the bug I'm trying to report".

What happens: Launchpad says "I am affected by this bug".
What should happen: Launchpad asks "Affected by this bug?"

First person (I, me, my) should be used only in controls (buttons, checkboxes, radio buttons, etc). Everything else, including headings, should use second person (you, your).

Perhaps this should be stated in
<https://dev.launchpad.net/UserInterfaceWording>.
