[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

Are you also confused when people say "Give my best to the wife and kids?" Do you scratch your chin and wonder [i]best what[/i]?

If you're parting for the weekend and someone says "Have a good one" are you befuddled by [i]a good what[/i]?

I don't know how some people survive in the world when they are, apparently, unable to infer meaning from context.[/quote]
