Indeed, it is one of these ones where not everyone will appreciate (or necessarily care about!) the difference!

As soon as I realised that anymore was in fact two words in British English, I stopped writing them as one word.

But I still find that on numerous British websites like the BBC for instance, ‘anymore’ is always written by all journalists writing their articles.

In reply to Terry Taylor.

Haha, yes that is a perfect example of why the difference matters, thanks for sharing!

I just saw a Facebook post from my cousin about her daughter. It read:“Happy 7 months baby girl! We couldn’t love you anymore!”

Great example of one space completely changing the meaning!
