[Talk-GB] Best One vs Best-One vs best-one vs Best-one convenience shop

[SK53]

I think Rob is right here:

Toys-R-Us at one stage was mapped with the relevant Unicode character for a
backwards "R", so slavish copying of the trade dress (i.e., best-one, in
this case) is not likely to be a good idea. Similarly former (and IIRC
still about) trade dress for various Co-op brands was "the Co-operative
Xxxx". I think agreeing a convention for names which are capitalised
unconventionally would help in these cases.

It is clear that Best-one use a hyphen so the most popular option is the
least correct. Although I've used "Best-One" in the past it looks rather
clunky, and is an odd form of capitalisation. "best-one" fits the trade
dress, but this will likely change as they do, so a more conventionally
capitalised "Best-one". I note The Grocer, a trade magazine, which must
wrestle with this sort of style problem all the time, uses "Best-one":
