I'm with lizw on the cultural connotations. I'd tell people I love them a lot more if I knew which grouping they fell into as concerns simple statement vs complex exchange.
It's also an issue I come up against when writing: how does this character view the words, how do they expect the other character(s) to respond, how will the other character(s) respond?
