any more, anymore or both?

[claig]

I see both versions in print - any more and anymore.
Are they both valid? Is one wrong? Is there a difference between British English and American English usage?

Any more in almost all circumstances, I think.

Everyday vs every day annoys me.
"These toilets are cleaned every day". (Monday and Tuesday and Wednesday...)
"This is an everyday jacket" (it's not for special occasions)

Thanks, Trills

That is a good article. Alot of people get that one wrong . The picture helps one remember that it is a lot.

:o

I always do 'anymore' regarding time eg 'she's not happy anymore'

and 'any more' regarding quantity eg 'would you like any more food?'

No idea if that's right but was thinking about that the other day!

That's interesting, Bendy. The second one has more emphasis for a quantity.

Anymore was considered incorrect until fairly recently, although it's the usual American way of writing any more.

It's now generally accepted as a variant spelling.

Is there a good book that spells all this type of stuff out?

No! Any more all the time. Anymore is not a word in UK English.
