No, it's not a word; the letter "a" is missing from it: "another." It's a colloquial expression.

You could either say... That's another story -- OR -- That's a whole other story.

"Nother" is not a word in standard English, but, like so many words not considered to be in standard English, it is in daily use by some people - possibly mostly in North America - I have not heard it in Britain.

The word nother .. or should that be 'nother .. is a shortened form of another. Like 'cos is a shortened form of because and alright should strictly speaking be all right (two separate words)

It's as wrong as when people say, "irregardless". There is no such word, but people say it often, regardless of the fact that they are wrong.

The phrase is that's a whole other story

The separation of two parts of a word like this is known as TMESIS, and you can look it up and read about it.

No. It's supposed to be "a whole other story."

No, but it's amusing. Write the word like this: 'nother.
