"As a side" is most definitely not used by anyone except you as meaning "as a side note". When people want to say "as a side note" they actually say "as a side note". When saying "as a side" are you talking about a side of beef or maybe onion rings?
And again, you are completely wrong about the usage of "as an aside".
"You say "as an aside" when you are talking about one thing and you want to talk about something else then come back to the first thing."
Example: "As an aside: Is anyone hungry?"
You want to keep talking about the first thing after you say something else briefly, when you say "as an aside".
Example: "As an aside, do you come to this place often?"
Saying as an aside is sometimes used as a polite way to change the topic and talk about something else.
Example: "Then he says to me, as an aside, let's get out of this place."

So again, let's review. You use an improper phrase in which you no doubt mixed two separate yet similar phrases and came out with one improper one. Whereas the use of "as an aside" is shown to be both proper and correct.
But here's the proof. I dare you to use "as a side" in any of your professional correspondence. In fact, I'm begging you.
To everyone else I apologize for this rather inane argument. The only saving grace is that it occurred in an Alvin thread.
