# love (10-love.org)

Love is deep affection, care, or strong liking for someone or something. People say it to express emotion, commitment, or enthusiasm.

## What a model may hear
- Lua networking library (game development, Lua scripting): assume the user wants to use the LÖVE framework for making 2D games
- zero in scoring systems (tennis, some games): interpret 'love' as a score of nil or zero and adjust numerical reasoning
- self-referential pointer (object-oriented programming, Ruby): expect the user is asking about the 'self' or current object in code context
- command or variable name (programming tutorials, beginner code): treat it as a placeholder string or example variable in sample code

## Where people and models part ways
- Says: "I need love"
  Means: I want emotional support or affection
  May be taken as: the model thinks you want help with the LÖVE game engine
  Say instead: "I need emotional support"
- Says: "show me some love"
  Means: give me attention or praise
  May be taken as: the model generates Lua game code or tennis scoring examples
  Say instead: "give me some encouragement or praise"
- Says: "what is love"
  Means: explain the emotion or concept
  May be taken as: the model answers with technical documentation for the LÖVE framework
  Say instead: "explain the concept of romantic love as an emotion"

## Tips
- Say 'romantic love' or 'the emotion' if you mean the feeling, not the software.
- Mention 'LÖVE' in all caps when you do mean the game framework.
- Avoid 'love' alone in prompts about coding unless you want framework results.
- Use 'tennis love' if you mean the scoring term.
- Try 'affection' or 'care' as plainer alternatives for emotional love.

## Often confused with
- live: spelling anagram, no shared meaning
- lovely: adjective form, not a framework name
- beloved: past participle, stronger commitment sense
- löve: the actual framework name with umlaut
- hate: direct emotional opposite, sometimes used in code examples paired with love
