Bug Description

On the bug page for a bug I reported, Launchpad says "This bug affects me too (change)".

Unfortunately, there's only one of me. So the "too" is inappropriate.

I think the language could be better if we didn't use "me." See the duplicate bug 451134 for some confusion over the current language. "This bug affects you" seems even better. Most social sites use "you" consistently when talking about the user's interaction with the site.

The usual rule is to use "you" where the system is communicating to you (in static text), and use "I"/"me" where you are communicating to the system (in buttons, checkbox labels, radio button labels, etc).

Currently it is not obvious whether or how "This bug affects me too" is a control (it differs only in color from the project name in the Affects table, which behaves completely differently!), and that may be leading you astray a bit. Maybe you and/or Martin could take some time to brainstorm a dozen possible ways of presenting the feature, and choose one that makes sense.

Thanks, mpt, for the info about use of "you" and "me." I agree, too, that we should brainstorm some ideas for presenting this.
