"I love it" and "Your Favorite?"

I realized that when you love a project it says "I love it" in first person form. But when you add it to your favorites, it says "Your Favorite!" in second person form. I know it doesn't affect anything, but I just find it a bit strange...maybe the Scratch Team thought it sounded better this way?

you're totally right, it's a bit strange!

Maybe "I Love It!" and "My Favorite!" ?

Re: "I love it" and "Your Favorite?"

You Love It and Your Favorite or I Love It and My Favorite...I don't know which one sounds better, I'm leaning more towards the third-person, but the first person would be more consistent (My Stuff, My Projects, etc; however, "I have 2 new messages" sounds awkward).

Go with second person for everything, basically your computer is saying it so it kinda makes sense... You Love It, Your Projects, Your Galleries, Your Favorite

Re: "I love it" and "Your Favorite?"

I think "My favorite" and "I love it" works best as the rest of Scratch such as, "My galleries" and "My Stuff" are all in first person.
