You wouldn't say "a whole another ballgame"
It's a whole OTHER ballgame.
So there.
Thanks for playing along at home. Now I must go stab someone in the aorta. BRB. |
You have to think about where that 'whole' is.
It isn't 'A whole [a]nother ball game'.
It's: 'A-whole-nother ball game'. The word 'whole' is inserted into the word 'another' in between the 'a' and 'nother'
Bit like saying abso-fucking-lutely.
