But the OP didn't ask for favorites. It's not our place to substitute our words for his based on an assumption as to what he meant to write. (Notice that he made the effort to emphasize "best" in the title of the thread.) There are reasons our lanuage has a lot of words. Communicating accuratrely is one of those reasons.
I find it intersting that the OP has not made the suggested substitution himself. It makes me wonder whether his real intent was to get people bickering.
