"think coming" vs. "think coming"

Dear Arnold et al.,

First of all, you corrected my name incorrectly: it's Rosemarie, not
Rosemary.

Second, even when you nasalize the G in "ing," it doesn't sound like a  K.

Third, even when it was written, it was "think."  I never heard OR saw  it as
"thing."  Given the facetious tone of the sentence, "think" makes  sense and
"thing" really doesn't.

Rosemarie

Quidquid latine dictum sit altum  videtur: Anything said in Latin sounds
profound!
