RE: A whole "nother" issue

["Dan Goldstein" <DGoldstein -at- riverainmedical -dot- com>]

You can find a definition at
http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/nother

It's an actual word in the English language, over a hundred years old.

Correct usage is a whole nother issue altogether -- personally, I find
it a complete bomination.
