Say this sentence outloud:
"Dont even get me started on that asshole, cuz that's a whole nother story."
Reading it outloud, it probably sounds correct and maybe even something similar to a sentence you yourself have said before.
But you may (i hope) have found something disturbing about the sentence, just by looking at it.
Ladies and Gentleman (and trans-ladies and trans-gentleman)... "nother" is NOT a word in the English language.
What happens here is that us English speaking, excuse me.. "AMERICAN speaking", folks like to shorten and mess up language. So here, we are taking the word "another" and shoving WHOLE in the middle of it, to serve our own malicious purposes, namely to furhter distance ourselves from the tyranny of England and their terrible taxes and ridiculous royalty....
....but thats a whole nother story.
