I have been told by a (male) person A to give his regards to a (male) person B. I don't know them too well, but I have met them both semi-privately (person A is a coworker of a friend of mine and w...
This explains why 'least worst' is logically absurd, yet it accepts 'least bad'. Does 'least bad' = best? Is this adjective grammatically valid? It sounds wrong and superfluous. If "more/most good...
One of my colleagues (not a native English speaker) always ends his emails like this: Bests Mike I guess he means Best regards with Bests. Could someone help explain?
Quite commonly used in India, the phrase "the best out of bests" is claimed to denote that you get something that is unmatched and of above-all quality. However, I avoid using this most of the times.
I like chocolate and sweets but i like peanut best.= 'correct'👍 and widely used by English speakers even though may be considered as a little informal. I like chocolate and sweets but i like peanut the most= 'correct'👍 and more formal.
Steve's suggestion is the best, but if you want to apologise in a more formal way, then: I deeply regret what occurred, and I promise that I will make every effort and do everything in my power to prevent its reoccurrence.
In one post, a commenter maintained that the phrases "I did my best" and "I did the best I could" don't mean quite the same thing. If it is true, what is the fine difference between the two?
I have been told that I should use "Best regards" in emails. However, I also see many native English speakers using "Best Regards". I'm confused which is correct.
Well there a couple of things happening in the sentences cited. First whoever "he" is seems to have suffered some sort of misfortune.

So in spite of the immediate misfortune, for the "he" things will ultimately be "better" in some overall sense.
Among, of, and out of are all essentially interchangeable in this context. However, it sounds a little unusual to mention the other subjects, since they are irrelevant to you liking botany. It sounds more natural to actually draw the comparison: I like botany. Among all the subjects, I prefer botany. Of all the subjects, I favor botany. I like botany the best (or the most) out of all the subjects.
