Alejandro Moncada Sucre, They mean two different things. "Another think coming" is the right answer here.

12 / 14. What is “Another think coming” supposed to mean? I really got at least 13/14 correct. Don’t agree with the other one I am supposed to have got wrong either!

Another think coming is a phrase our parents/ grandparents have been using for generations! In uk

Chrissie, I live in New Jersey, USA. A child might say they will be having ice cream before dinner. The parent would respond that he has another thing coming. That would be ice cream after dinner, if at all. The phrase indicates that the thing the child wants will not be coming when he expects it, after all. Thank you, Christine, James' wife

Judy Codona, I am American and have always said another thing coming, so that if a person thinks they are doing well and expect a reward, or have a wish the other thinks is unreasonable, they have another thing coming. I am not certain if I ever heard think, and where. Thank you, Christine, James' wife

Not so sure about "another think coming". I've never used that phrase concerning thoughts. Oh well. At least the answers were included.

14/14 pretty easy standard sayings. Can't believe people who say "another THING coming" - of course it is "another THINK
coming" you THOUGHT wrong in the first place so now THINK AGAIN. Like people who say SOMETHINK instead of SOMETHING
