I was running through some websites about saying I love you in different languages and saw that. Anybody knows why?

My only guess is the number of letters:

1 = I
4 = L-O-V-E
3 = Y-O-U

very common used in sending messages through pagers

143 = I Love you... its just the # of letters

just like

637= Always and Forever

and... 823 = Thinking of You

<< it also means "I like pee" >>



Hmm, I don't think anybody would use mathematics to express that sentence ;)
 

That's crap. I wish people will just stop abusing language, especially a language as luvly as math.

If we follow such scheme of thought, I'm sure we could come up with many meanings, worst of it all: I hate you. Is that a mere irony? Or I crap you? Or A dead lie?
Stop abusing math, please, folks! Hehehe!

I can endure the beautiful mixture of music theory and Mathematcs, but I cannot stand these kinds of abuses of mathematics! :disgust:
