another thing coming". Just frickin' say "regardless"!! And it's you've got another think coming... not thing. Why do people believe the word is "thing"?? Especially when the whole thing starts off with "If you think..." I did get into a disagreement with my boss and his boss (the owner of the business) once at a previous job years ago about them including the phrase "case and point" in some of the brochures. I tried to explain to them that it was "case in point", not case and point. They vehemently disagreed saying that it meant "state your case and make your point". I couldn't believe these idiots were my superiors (not just because of that, in general... but that argument didn't help). I literally had to show them printed proof they were wrong before they agreed to change it before going to press.
