Is "nother" a word? (Apparently, they've added it because of this execrable phrase that's come into popular use, "whole nother".)
Random House seems to have given it a pass, but I can't take it one more day. I just heard a very educated psychologist (although I suppose Tom Cruise would have something to say about her being a psychologist) on television say "whole nother". I don't even think she was trying to be "folksy", either. It was used as though it was impeccable grammatical structure.
Is it a lost cause? Are we damned to a lifetime of "like" and "whole nother"?
