"enter_bug.cgi?" says "Every time." 
"show_bug.cgi?" says "always".

The problem with that is that it's inconsistent. 

And there shouldn't be a period after every time.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to xxxxxxxxxx.enter_bug.cgi?
2. Go to xxxxxxxxxx.show_bug.cgi?
Actual Results:  
See Always in show_bug.cgi?
and
Every time. in enter_bug.cgi?

Expected Results:  
Have Always in both

I don't agree. :-) On the enter_bug page, you are answering the question:

"How often can you reproduce the problem?"

You are offered a choice of four grammatical sentences, with full stops, to
answer this question:
"Every time.", "Sometimes, but not always.", "Haven't tried to reproduce it."
and "Tried, but couldn't reproduce it."

Which is fine. On the show_bug page, you are completing the phrase: 

"Reproducible: "

and there are four options:
"Always", "Sometimes", "Didn't try" and "Couldn't Reproduce".

Which I think is fine too.

I'm not comfortable with "every time" because I used to spell "every time"
"everytime"

It just came from sometimes so I assumed that every time was everytime.

I was about to bug report "every time" should be "everytime", but looked in a
dictionary and couldn't find it.

Always doesn't confuse me with the spelling and it's shorter.

But the answer of "every time" is better than "always"
"How often can you reproduce the problem?" Always
"How often can you reproduce the problem?" Every Time

So WONTFIX, then.
