Grammar
one another or other?
One another/other thing I forget - he is going to Italy next month.
Which one should I prefer? Other or Another? "Other" used with plural nouns and "Another" with singular. Some says other is preferable here. Why? I'm confused.
Thank you.

So both of them are possible? Strange, because I saw this in a multiple choice test and the correct answer is other. How can it be? Maybe a cheesy question? Thanks.
