So what is everyone's opinion on 'whole nuther'? Or have you discussed this already on a whole nuther thread? I've never seen it written, but we hear it all the time.
Is it a 'beautiful creation'? Or something that should be vigorously discouraged, vehemently disallowed, officially indexed and banned? Do you use it unconsciously, tolerate it impotently, or celebrate its euphony?
Just wondering.

I've got to get me some of that stuff. I love music too but I've never heard of filmi qawwalis. I'll look it up. Many thanks for your reply.

My opinion:
A) It's A whole nOther. With an O not a U
2) The word 'another' is one word. Note that there are no spaces in there. The 'whole' has been infixed into the word and you can't go throwing out letters just because you're afraid that Miss Thistlebottom will write some kind of nastygram on your essay.
Þ) I suppose you think that 'a napron' should be 'an apron'.

'whole nuther'
Perfectly wonderful in speech and informal settings (such as online forums), probably wouldn't use it in formal written texts, unless jocularly.
Or something that should be vigorously discouraged, vehemently disallowed, officially indexed and banned?
Ain't gonna happen in my lifetime. Sometime in the inchoate future it may go the way of other linguistic dodo birds.
Ceci n'est pas un seing.

...and that, in itself, is a whole nuther concept.
