Sorry, I fell behind in my reading after the first few parts and I still have to catch up, but I wanted to agree with Wanda --
Secondly, re: the "think" vs. "thing" - I was trying for a colloquialism--maybe it's correct to say "think," but I had always thought that the phrase was "another thing coming." Or at least that is probably what most people (or Americans?) actually say, regardless whether it's correct.
Americans (or at least this American) say "thing". I've never heard "another think coming" so I think we say "another thing coming".
Looking forward to getting a chance to sit down and read this in its entirety!
