Is love it grammatically correct?
"Love it" is a command to a person to love an inanimate object.
Take this example: Person 1: "I can't stand the feel of this house."
Person 2: "I don't care. Love it like I love it."
_________
It doesn't have to be a command. It is used quite often as an expression of admiration, with the subject understood, but not included in the sentence.
For example... a friend shows off a new hat. I adore it. Out loud I say "love it!" The sentence "love it" has an implied "I" in it, as in [I] love it. And whether it is grammatically okay or not usually is a matter of opinion. If you judge the language on the way people use it, then it is definitely acceptable in modern society to say "love it" with an implied subject.
This is an informal use, however, so unless you are writing dialogue to sound believable, I would use the actual subject in any formal writing.
