Thread Name: BS: Question about 'loving'
Subject: RE: BS: Question about 'loving'
I think there is a, perhaps, subtle difference in meaning.
"I love Shakespeare," seems to indicate a general, more-or-less permanent state. Yesterday, today, and on into the foreseeable future.
"I'm loving Shakespeare," tends to imply that this may be a temporary state, but at the moment, I'm reading Shakespeare's plays or sonnets and "I'm loving it."
