Love or Luv, when someone types "luv" would it bother you? What are your views?

My thought on this is that some people are uncomfortable using or even saying the word "love". I think it suggests a feeling or emotion that is so strong they don't know how to handle it or they don't want to come off as sounding too deep or serious so "luv" takes some of the heaviness out of it.

Well I guess it depends on the person but for me it's just the same but the most important on it is the action not the word ^^

I use LUV when referring to my girlfriend in text messages and LOVE for "I LOVE YOU", etc.

They don't really mean the same, but I think it is okay for a person to just say "luv", but it would be better if he or she really typed "love". It means that the person is really exerting effort and not just taking those words for granted.

hi, actually i also used that word when i chat or text it to my friends and even to my love ones,so that the thruth is when someone tell this word to me it will never bother me because they only shortcut the word LOVE,and for me there is nothing wrong by using of that.

All that is is an abbreviation. I don't mind, I understand what it means. You see that a lot on Twitter more than FaceBook. Thats because on Twitter you only have so much space. I try to type in long hand because that is what I prefer to do. But, it don't matter to me how other write.

i see your point^^ and i also like more when someone says i love you instead of i luv you but i think it depends of how the person talks with you when type. some people just use a lot of abreviations so i guess its normal if they say i luv instead of i love. but if that person just usually types everything normally and just about say i love you writes like that i think that maybe they dont mean that. thats what i think^^ about me i always write the entire word^^ its so much cuter than just luv.

to me they're the same. i mean i use them at times, especially while sending text messages so as the words don't exceed it's limit.

Love = It denotes a romantic & affectionate relationship between guy & gal Luv = It denotes a lovable relationship as friendship between 2 or more persons either can be the gender between them

LOVE and LUV... for me, its the same meaning... some people are just too lazy to complete the word LOVE... so I don't mind..I can't tell if he/she really mean it coz I can't see his face... You can know what he/she really feels when you both talk personally and express your feelings to one another.

The words "love" and "luv" are different to me. In my opinion, love is reserved for close friends, romantic, and family. Luv is something I see get thrown around a lot in online games and chat rooms. As in it's just like a nice way of telling someone you care about them without all the commitment? So yes, there is definitely a difference.

yeah for me its different because I think when you love someone you should said it completely like saying i love you when your partner says that luv u well for me it is not sincerely said well that's my own opinion how about u guys?

I think it all means the same. A feeling expressed by someone who wants you for who you are. I guess it's all in the person's attitude. If he uses 'luv' he wants his message to be cute n simple maybe but nonetheless true. When he uses 'love' he's a bit traditional. That's just it i guess.

I always type the word LOVE as LOVE still because luv is a different thing. If i may share, one time when my boyfriend texted me luv u, i really told him to spell it out..lol because he knows in the first place that i don't accept that kind of sms.

it doesn't bother me in the way someone wants to type the word love., what matters most to me is if they mean it when they type it. Anybody can just say the words. Giving them meaning and emotion is a more powerful thing to savor.

Normally the only time I usually see Luv is in text messages. I generally do not mind because I understand that many are forgetting when to use proper English versus text language. Though I must admit that it is the person who types it out who should be concerned. Reason why I say is that I am really good about switching from improper to proper English. But some people I know use it so much they forget and it does not look good when writing articles and formal letters. It also spews over in to their communication skills as well.

I agree with you, people who say luv u to me are my friends but with my family (got parents who are sticklers for grammar and spelling!!!) and my fiancee I use and they use the right spelling...it means more when it's "I love you" than "i luv u"....

Off-the-top-o`-my-head, "luv" seems like the 'hurried' (texting? IMing?) way, "love" seems like the 'thought-out' (emailing, letter-writing, poetic) way. 'Luv' seems more like 'a basic interpretation of what my insides feel for your body (interpreted by the subconscious part of the brain---the part that controls breathing and blinking etc.),' and 'Love' seems like 'a full interpretation of those feelings (when interpreted by the intellectual part of the brain).'
