Is the use of "would better" correct grammatically?
Hello everyone!
I´ve been searching about the use of "would better" in a formal way, but I didn´t get enough information.
From some sources, "had better" is the only correct form to give advice/suggestion for a specific situation, to prevent negative results, and it is recognized as formal.
But, it seems "would better" is kind of informal, but I also found "would better" on this website: http://context.reverso.net/traduccion/ingles-espanol/would+better
Does anyone know if "would better" is formally recognized ? or if any Cambridge or Oxford book has mentioned it?
Thank you very much
