Love - an intense feeling of deep affection. But as it seems that this definition has pushed people to come up with new spellings for the love, as the true meaning of love might be too strong to describe all the affectionate connection a person has in their life. So new versions were created including Luv U, L.O.V.E, and probably many others. Yes, they are more convenient to write in text but they all carry the same meaning? Probably not. Yes, I love soy lattes, but do I really mean it that way. I think that the English language as it evolves just had to come up with words for love, that are less strong, because Love seems to be used in every context in daily life in English and the true meaning would be devalued if the real word would be used. So its sort of like a sports car that you only take out on the weekend when the weather is nice, Love only should come out when an intense feeling of deep affection is there.
