Hello guys,
I don't know but some guys laugh at this sentence:
I'm the one that loves you best.
(It's taken from Timbaland's song: The Way I Are ;-)).
Yes, as you can assume, its grammar is not so good :-D

But what's so wrong about the part with "best"?
I know that, "I'm the one who loves you more." is also okay.

Cheers!

There's nothing wrong with "best." There may be ten guys competing for your love, but none of them love you more/better/with their whole heart than I do.

Maybe a purist would say that it's hard to qualify the expertise with which one loves, but this is a common enough thing to say and talk of who loves who more is rarely going to be the topic of formal writing!

It's fine to me too- you could use 'most', but I can't see anything wrong with it.
