(As an ownCloud Android user I want) no use of »I« or »me« in the interface

[jancborchardt]

Instead of »I am new to ownCloud«, the link on the bottom of the add account page should be »New to ownCloud?«

In general, there should be no use of »I« or »me« in the interface. Even the good alternative »you« – like »your files«, »shared with you« etc should be reduced, in these cases better just »Files« and »From others«. (These are not in the interface, I’m just saying in general. ;)

Another east one.

Please include reasons why this should not be the case - are there HIG guidelines or journals that explain why this is suboptimal design? Evidence is better than "I don't like it".

I never said »I don’t like it«, it’s just that the »As an ownCloud Android user I want« part is the usual format for user stories.

Thanks for the articles. If you read the OP, it certainly comes off as a personal itch without any explanations whatsoever.

In that case ignore Dustin Curtis’ article and just pay attention to the Stackexchange comment.

The link to add a new account on login screen is "New to ownCloud"
