If the title phrase doesn't make you cringe, perhaps it's a good time to have your cringe reflex examined. Worse still, if you're guilty of having used it, it's time you did bester than that.
What happened to "as well as I can" or "I'll do my best"? Are those out of fashion too now? Not only is this noxious mutant of a phrase oblivious to the comparative form of "well", but it's also missing a second "as".
Next time you find yourself on the verge of regurgitating it, remember to take it outside and shoot it. Aim as bestly as you can.
