[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]'Best' is indeed the worst [/quote]

Honest question – what’s so bad about it? how is it coming across that is so agonizing? I use “Best” and “Best Regards”  from time to time without thinking much about it, but I’m certainly not trying to irritate people.  Can’t say I’m deeply invested, so it would cost me nothing to switch, but I am curious. Is it just one of those things like the word “moist” that hits some people’s brain cells in an unpleasant way?[/quote]

Best regards makes sense, you are sending me your best regards, but if you say best, I am left wondering "best what?". People say things like warm regards, but I've never had anyone end their email with

Warm, Jenny

Fair enough, and thanks for the POV! I assume that it was one of those conventions that nobody even thinks about - like saying “later” for “see you later” and “morning’ for “good morning” -  but obviously there’s a decent percentage of people whose brains aren’t easily making that leap. [/quote]
