Big of a Deal

Daily Writing Tips focuses on a pet peeve of mine - the phrase "not that big of a deal" in this post and while I don't care for the phrase, honestly, I don't care for the reader's suggestion of "you just say “not that big a deal” or “not that good a movie.”" because that sounds like you're saying "not that biga deal" or "not that gooda movie" which sounds like something I would never intentionally say.
