Yes, it is common to use "our love" to indicate the love of all family members.http://www.englishforums.com/English/ExclamationMark/zvbnx/post.htm#437821Sun, 26 Apr 2009 10:11:57 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:437821Grammar Geek1http://www.englishforums.com/English/ExclamationMark/zvbnx/post.htm#437821http://www.englishforums.com/English/comments12-437821.xmlI have no idea. Perhaps he meant he and his wife; perhaps she meant she and her husband. It's not common to use "our" meaning "my."http://www.englishforums.com/English/ExclamationMark/zvbnx/post.htm#437819Mon, 26 Jan 2009 11:11:57 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:437819Drica2http://www.englishforums.com/English/ExclamationMark/zvbnx/post.htm#437819http://www.englishforums.com/English/comments12-437819.xmlthanks ! well the writer said Give our love ... so it means that he was speaking for someone else too? or it is common to say our meaning I ?http://www.englishforums.com/English/ExclamationMark/zvbnx/post.htm#437818Sun, 26 Apr 2009 10:11:57 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:437818Grammar Geek3http://www.englishforums.com/English/ExclamationMark/zvbnx/post.htm#437818http://www.englishforums.com/English/comments12-437818.xmlIn reverse order, "Please give our love to your family" means, roughly, "please tell your family that I am thinking of them with affection." It's a rather ordinary thing to say - it doesn't have the excitement, surprise, anger, horror, or extreme happiness that would merit an exclamation mark. Congratulations to your mother on her Nobel prize! Now that would merit an exclamation mark. However, I think the writer used these extra exclamation marks to convey the enthusiasm he or she felt; not being able to show with his or her voice her strong affection, etc., exclamation marks were used instead. I use too many of them in my e-mail to my friends as well.http://www.englishforums.com/English/ExclamationMark/zvbnx/post.htm#437805Mon, 26 Jan 2009 11:11:57 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:437805Anonymous4http://www.englishforums.com/English/ExclamationMark/zvbnx/post.htm#437805http://www.englishforums.com/English/comments12-437805.xmlwhat do you mean by ordinary and calam to be typical exclamations ? what do the exclamation marks mean in the sentences ? what does "Please give our love to your family " means ? best wishes ? thankshttp://www.englishforums.com/English/ExclamationMark/zvbnx/post.htm#437783Tue, 26 May 2009 10:11:57 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:437783Clive5http://www.englishforums.com/English/ExclamationMark/zvbnx/post.htm#437783http://www.englishforums.com/English/comments12-437783.xmlHi, I would like to know how would people interpret the exclamation mark in the sentence : " Please give our love to your folks ! hope your dad is doing well and still doing his stuff ! An exclamation is something that is said suddenly and emphatically. So, that is how I would interpret the writer's intention with these two sentences. However, to me they do look a bit too long and ordinary and calm to be considered typical exclamations.
