Could someone provide sources/citations etc of bests as a plural of best? I have only ever heard it in the context of a sporting event or some such where one team 'bests' another. I have found nothing to support bests in the context more than one best. 2A02:C7D:2BEA:7D00:355E:CB99:4419:A836 14:32, 5 August 2016 (UTC)
- I've added four citations of the plural to best#Noun. —Mr. Granger (talk • contribs) 15:39, 5 August 2016 (UTC)
- Even in sports it can be a noun: "my personal bests in swimming and rowing both need improvement". Equinox ◑ 16:35, 5 August 2016 (UTC)
- It is used outside of personal bests also, I've added a 2010 citation. Renard Migrant (talk) 11:35, 16 August 2016 (UTC)
