Did Groot say the F word?
There's also precedence within the MCU for Groot to swear. Gunn said in a now-deleted tweet that Baby Groot "drops about 50 f-bombs in Guardians 2." They can't be heard since Groot only says, "I am Groot," which is how the director was able to get away with so many uses of the F-word without the movie being rated R.
Groot speaking English in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 is actually a stylistic choice by James Gunn to let the audience understand his language. The audience finally understands that Groot is saying "I love you guys" confirming we're all part of his family.
