One problem is that the word "Love" is used quite differently in the
German language. Even in Great Britain.
Love as a term is used in English in a fully inflated notion of flooding.
I have no idea what lovers say to each other in the U.S. when it comes
to really love.
Maybe they just grunt at each other only.
Please teach me U.S.-american social behavior.
The expression "Wikilove" will trigger only incomprehension and headshaking.
