Bestest????
That's alright for Facebook but not for a Spanish - English learning website
I disagree, wholeheartedly.
There is a big difference between misspelling through laziness, abusing language by way of writing in text-speak etc. and being colourful with its use. I think it important to explain when one makes up words so as not to cause confusion in those not expert in the language, which I have done in the comments section.

My very, absolute bestest! - afowen, Sep 6, 2011
For those learners of English that may be wondering, bestest is not a real word. It is usual for many, as I'm sure it is in Spanish, to play with the language, make up words etc. Bestest is probably a common error made when looking for the superlative... - afowen, Sep 6, 2011
... of good and can be used to make your speech/writing look child-like or even a little banterous... - afowen, Sep 6, 2011
And when used well can make a statement very colorful - pacofinkler, Sep 6, 2011
Maybe when partaking of sickening baby talk with ones partner :-) - afowen, Sep 6, 2011
Banterous??? - samdie, Sep 6, 2011
Banterous is to banter as phosphorous is to phosphor. ¿Ya entiendes? :-) - afowen, Sep 7, 2011

Just a regional difference I suspect.
