Thanks again for this-- I relate to the feeling a lot.

I just so happen to have a concordance of twitter messages that I did for a project at work. Sadly, it turns out that "real" and "true" do not occur as frequently with the word "love" as, say, "lol", or "fucking". (Which I guess helps prove your point! :)

Haha, not unexpected from a Twitter corpus. I did actually pull those ("real", "true", etc) from an online corpus - BNC Written (1 million words).

It's always good to fact-check these things. You wouldn't want Mark Liberman ripping you apart on Language Log.
