Anyway or anyways? Which is correct?
- RTalloniposted 10 years ago
0 RTalloni & Linda. Thank you both. When speaking, I avoid using either one. I hear more people saying anyways than anyway, and it just sounds wrong. I've even said "anyhoo" (don't have to wonder if I should add an S at the end). So ANYWAY, I think you have cleared that up for me
I agree, it does sound wrong. Casual conversation can be many things, but if words/phrases grate there's not much to do but grin and bear it.
Anyway, just any way isn't okay. Going over the options for clarity is a good reminder.
