I really thought this ignorant bit was limited to my ex-husband. Sadly, I saw this in the local paper today:
"Do you think... ? If so, you've got another thing coming."
OMG, I CANNOT STAND THIS!
As the Grammar Grouch, I have been known to be irritable on occasion, but in this case, I am about to become unhinged!
Why it makes me so angry, I have no idea, but I tell you what: If you think I'm going to let this lie, you've got another think coming!
Check out the dear Mr. Brians's simple explanation:

Grrrrr....!
Please, my friends, help me to rid the world of this one little ignorance. I promise I will be happy.
Until next time, O best beloved*, I remain
Your Grammar Grouch

Just verifies that there are thinkers and there are doers.
Thinkers think. Doers just do their thing.
The results show in their writing.
