Listen, people.

It's not "If you think ___, you've got another thing coming". It's "If you think __, you've got another think coming." Get it? See how that works? The word "think" appears in both places! As if to suggest that the approaching think is going to replace the previous think which was in error! See how it even (gasp!) makes sense that way, whereas a "thing" coming in that context is so meaningless as to be completely baffling? [*]

≈40/60 of a fairly small convenience sample is hardly conclusive proof of the distribution through the entire English-speaking world. I don't think there's enough evidence there to conclude one has an actual lead over the other.
