Subject: Anymore...



A friend of mine used the following sentence on e-mail:



Society is so weird "anymore"



I asked her whether this was a typo and she said no it was not. "Anymore"

meant "nowadays" in that context. Is this something that has been reported

before? Or just another localism (Salt Lake City area)?
