It’s interesting idea and I think that such approach will work for you. What I would recommend you is that it will be better to use constructions like this:
// $singular = 1 - for 'me', 2 - for 'us'
$like_on = _n('Like me on %s', 'Like us on %s', $singular, 'my-plugin');
In this case it will be easier to understand how to translate the phrase.
