"Although some really may last a lifetime." Like OMG, this isn't a sentence. LOL. 68.51.66.32 (talk) 23:43, 5 July 2012 (UTC)
It is terribly written and poorly sourced. The grammar is terrible, and the article is biased towards a middle- to upper-class American audience. 50.92.38.236 (talk) 03:04, 31 March 2013 (UTC)
While I appreciate the effort to add sources, I'm really not sure that a casual reference to the use of the phrase "best friends forever" in a book on one person's experience of veganism is suitable for making the broad claim that the expression is "typical of teenagers and young people". The source itself only refers to "teenagers" for a start, but the bigger issue is that it's not an expert work on the subject; it's merely a single example of the phrase being used. Ideally we'd have a reference to a linguistic or psychological work here. My inclination is to remove it, but I wanted to give others the chance to discuss first.

Proposal: I previously nominated this article for deletion, and I was wrong for doing so. The article in its present state is problematic to me, and I would like to propose one of a few options. 1) Merge whatever appropriate content into the general article on Friendship and/or 2) Convert the article into a disambiguation page for the various uses of the phrase "Best friends forever" as they occur in contemporary usage and/or 3) Re-focus the article on the phrase and about the phrase's impact on society, and remove the dubious statements that try to assert that "Best friends forever" is a type of friendship distinctive from the common concept of "best friends".

Hi. This may sound pedantic but I disagree with the current caption for File:Best Frends Forever - Golden Gate bridge guard rail 166.jpg.
"The words "Best Friends Forever" inscribed ..."(6 April 2013)
"... scribed..."
"... inscribed..."
The Wiktionary entries for inscribe and scribe IMHO corroborate the understanding that scribe would be the more appropriate term (with engraving being a primary definition of inscribe and a secondary definition of scribe), but this has been contested. What do others think? Thanks. -- Trevj (talk · contribs) 14:32, 28 March 2014 (UTC)
"written"would avoid ambiguity. However, I'm sure there's no danger of fistfights! -- Trevj (talk · contribs) 08:57, 1 April 2014 (UTC)
IT'S NOT "INSCRIBED". IT'S WRITTEN ON A RAIL WITH A FRIGGIN SHARPIE MARKER! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2606:A000:F481:BA00:EC9F:9456:C2AB:2CAC (talk) 06:35, 13 February 2015 (UTC)
