Eh, 'nother is legit. It's informal, but widely used.

I can't get behind it.

Yup...if someone corrected my idiomatic speech yet still understood what I meant, I'd look at it as more of an indictment of them than my use of language

You don't have to like it, it just isn't wrong.

Remember: ACAB includes grammar police 😉

I say whole 'nother. Complete 'nother is too many syllables and sounds weird though

I’ve accepted nother over the years, even though I’ve stopped saying it. But ’complete nother‘ threw me. And, I’m not that guy who corrects people, especially at work…even though these guys have really, really bad grammar.

“Whole nother” sounds more gooder to me.

Personally I’m more of a linguistic descriptivist but I get it, I love hearing people’s esoteric grammatical pet peeves. One of my best friends always says “but however” instead of one or the other, and idk if that’s technically wrong but it’s the linguistic equivalent of nails on a chalkboard to me 😅

One thing that I get hung up on is when someone says "needs [past tense verb]" instead of "needs to be [past tense verb]", like if you said "that baby's diaper needs changed" or "my record needs shipped." Reading it almost short-circuits my brain, and I feel like I'm falling through some kind of invisible rift in spacetime.

One of my closest friends says "snidbit" and "by any stretch of the means." I have to admit, I love both of those. Especially snidbit.
