I'll give a big "YARR!" for the ich-laut. (Meaning I like it, for what it's worth.) "Ich liebe dich" sounds romantic enough to me... oh, and my girlfriend and I met when a friend and I were talking in foreign languages - he in Spanish and me in German. Of course, he speaks no German and I speak very little Spanish, so... it was a bizarre circumstance in general. -- Robert
