verb [T]
1 to enjoy or approve of something or someone.

"I'm liking"/"I'm caring" are present-tense ways of using it and not incorrect. "I am liking it right now." "I am not caring for it at the moment."

:P

Anyway, I got an Asmodian Mage to level 5 and an Elyos Warrior and Scout to level 4. That's...pretty much all I could be bothered to do. I'm just not really an MMO fan, and so far there is absolutely nothing to differentiate this from every other traditional MMO, to me.
Yes, the meaning is right. I mean, verbs that show feelings, emotions like "love, hate, like, dislike, detest" CAN'T have the -ing at the end. Just can't. You've been brainwashed by McDonald's "I'm loving it" and stupid rap songs "They be hatin' on me" and stuff.

Also, "caring" is never a verb. It's an adjective. Caring = compassionate, someone who cares for people. Yeah, that's the correct phrase - "I don't care for it". Or, "don't care about it", whether you mean that you don't look forward to like the game to OR that you simply don't care about the game.

"Hey, it's raining, I'm not liking that!" or "Hey, it's raining, I don't like that!"?

I know, it's a common mistake, nothing to feel bad about.

To back my words:

About "caring":
http://dictionary.cambridge.org/defi...1463&dict=CALD

About "liking":
http://dictionary.cambridge.org/defi...6177&dict=CALD

Can't be used as a verb. None of them are verbs.
