Honestly I would find "Best," confusing, and I don't think I've ever seen it before.
What is it supposed to mean? "All the best"? "Best wishes"? Why not just say that?
Depending on the rest of the content I would probably assume either that someone was going for one of the above and didn't even notice that they a word, or that the author is a non-native speaker translating something from their primary language.
- NoboruWataya 4y agoYes, I think it's supposed to be sort for "best wishes" or "best regards". It's part of a trend in email correspondence where people seem to think that typing an extra few letters will cost them too much time (which of course is money). The same way you get people typing "pls" and "tks" in emails.
- dandigangi 4y agoI'm not being lazy. It's a simpler way to end an email and wishes and regards sounds silly to end an email with to me. Best covers more bases.
