- An other vs another - English Language Usage Stack Exchange
The string an other is vanishingly rare in English In contrast another is positively pervasive I think it would be fair to say that the second has eclipsed the first to the point of making the first unacceptable, even though it is a grammatical string Both an and another are members of the category of determiners, while other, on the other hand, is an adjective There's no grammatical
