When you are recounting a conversation between yourself and another, please refrain from using the phrase, “So I says . . .”
You cannot cleave the word “another” to form the solecism “a whole nother ____.” It is either “another ___,” or “a whole other ___.” Please stop saying “nother.”
“Anyways” is not an acceptable replacement for the word “anyway.”
. . . Unless you’re writing dialect or you just want to seem clueless, in which case, by all means, have at it.
Otherwise, please stop it now. Thanks.

No, I’m Anotherfucker.
See how it works?
And anyways, I knew you’d have something to say about that.

On behalf of the Grammar Fetishists of the World, thank you from the bottom of our collective hearts.
Sigh… how perfect sentence construction makes me wet, and causes me to breathe faster… *whimper*
