If you spell “I love you” in French in America, Spell-check always tells you that you’ve made a big mistake in English. In France, Spell-check tells you there’s something wrong with “I love you” in French, in French. People in France and America often say that you mustn’t say “I love you” until you are absolutely certain, because it can cause confusion and regret.
