How sounds strange? "I'm lovin' it!"
As an English learner, I know this sentence has a grammatical error. But I want to know how native speakers take this.
Does this sound like this to you? "my love to Mcdonald's is going on, it never stops."

Thanks for your help.

Answer

The misunderstanding here is that you think the "static verb rule" always works in every situation. As your level progresses, you will learn situations where the rule can be "relaxed" for a specific reason.

Yes, the slogan is slightly unusual, but certainly not incorrect or incomprehensible.  The continuous tense adds an immediacy to the verb.

If McDonald's followed the static verb rule perfectly, then you'd have the very boring slogan of "I love it".

Answer

Correction:  " I love  going to McDonald's. I'll  never stop going there."

Answer

Because "love"is a static verb such as live, believe, have, know and so on,  And I learned this kind of verb never be a present continuous tense.  That's why I want to know how sounds strange "I'm loving it".  Also I want to know what meaning "it" shows.  McDonald's shop itself? Or hamburgers, french fries?

I know New KIds used to sing "I'll be loving you forever♪"  Don't you think this grammar strange?

Answer

It means: I'm enjoying it very much.
