Love dialects

"The London 2012 Olympic football is to be called The Albert because of cockney rhyming slang - with Albert Hall (a London landmark) meaning ball" reported The Guardian.

I now realise that the way we feel loved is usually the same way we express love.

A person from Singapore speaks the same Chinese as a person from Malaysia, but their dialects can be so drastically different that they may not understand each other at all! Therefore a woman can try to convey her love to a guy by doing things for him, but because his "dialect" with which he communicates love is different (perhaps his is by tell her how much he loves her), these deeds she does for him didn't seem important to him, and she feels unloved.
