This makes me nervous. I have always used ‘best,’ ever since my very first agent signed her emails ‘best’ and I thought it was NY publishing lingo, and I adopted it for my own. Now, people get brushed off by ‘best?” People are appalled by “cheers!” People are underwhelmed by Ciao?” Oh, sincerely noes!

So, question here. What’s your favorite sign-off, and what’s peeves you?
