Re: Pet peeves!

Irregardless. Enough said, I think.

I agree on the couldn't care less saying.

Also, the saying is, "If that's what you think, you have another thinK coming." It's not, "If that's what you think, you have another thinG coming." No, just no. It's think, not thing. Okay?

No, it's not, okay?

Another thing = makes sense
Another think = makes no sense

Yes, yes, it is. The expression is another thinK. If you're thinKing one thing, then you thinK something else, you don't thing something else.

"If you think that, then you have another think coming." What the hell is thing referencing in that expression? Hmmmmmmmm? Could it be thinK? It's telling someone that they need to re-think their position (thinK again) on that matter.

"If you think that, you have another thing coming?" makes zero sense, unless you're possibly threatening an ass-kicking. If you think that, I'mma gonna kick your ass. It's not the saying.

Another think coming: To have 'another think coming' is to be greatly mistaken. The phrase is usually spoken by an antagonist as 'you have another think coming'; the implication being that one will shortly be obliged to adopt a different viewpoint, either by the presentation of indisputable evidence, or by force. from http://www.phrases.org.uk/meanings/another-think-coming.html

Wait what? Another think? I always took the saying to mean "If that's what you think, you have another (bad) thing coming (to whoop your ass)"
I've never heard it said any other way.

Yup. That is the original saying. The other is more popularized these days, esp. due to that metalhead song, but another think is the original saying. Want to read more about it? You might want to start here: http://painintheenglish.com/case/4970

Another think predates to 1898; another thing to 1919 but wasn't popular until relatively recently, I guess you could say.

I just can't stand it. With another thing, you're essentially saying: If you thinG that, you've got another thinG coming. Because the another is referencing/calling back to thinG (think). Like for example, heres' a cookie. Have another. Another is referencing cookie.
