Description:
Grammar errors in the hovertext for permissions change the meaning described to the user.

How to repeat:
Open MySQLWorkbench.  
Go to Users and Privileges. Click Add Account (or select a user account) and go to the Schema Privileges tab.  
Hover over the Object Rights, such as DELETE.
Notice the strange sentence, saying this privilege "enables you to be deleted from tables in the database."  UPDATE "enables you to be updated in tables in a database."  INSERT "enables you to be inserted..." 

Suggested fix:
Change the presented text so that "you" becomes the subject rather than object of the verb, write "data" instead of "you," or use passive such as in some DDL Rights hovertext. 

Consider removing "you" to refer to "the user" (who may be different from the administrator setting up the user), even where the grammar is correct, as in DDL Rights/{INDEX, DROP, TRIGGER}.

Fixed as of the upcoming MySQL Workbench 8.0.11 release, and here's the changelog entry:

Several tooltips within the Administration - Users and Privileges tab had
inaccurate text that was corrected by this fix.

Thank you for the bug report.
