Another
Another (oh god!) aspect of this is when people split them and create the word "nother", as in "a whole nother thing". My friend Cheryl told me what this is called, but I forgot.
El Patito complains when he asks me a question ("What is your first name?") and I say "I forget." Yeah, so it's not correct, and I should probably say "I forgot". My sassy answer is usually that this is just one instance in my ongoing state of forgetfulness.
Does everyone do this? Is this a weird srah thing or a weird Michigan thing or a weird Midwestern thing or a weird American thing???
