This evening on Wheel of Fortune, one of their puzzles was. "We're not in Kansas anymore". I thought any more was two words...?
(Yes, I know this is extremely weak but this place has been dead for DAYS.)

(Yes, I know this is extremely weak but this place has been dead for DAYS.) My computer has been in the hospital, so I could not visit the site. Weather is hot: 95 all week, 118 heat index. Hopefully things are going better now with the machine. But I've seen the word(s) in question used both ways: one word, or two. Kids in class used them interchangeably.

aestivation Estivation or aestivation (from Latin aestas, summer), also known as "summer sleep", is a state of animal dormancy somewhat similar to hibernation. (From the Google listing for Wikipedia) Huh. Thanks for the new word, Branny! Luke, you awake?

Not missing winter too much any more, anymore.

I'd classify this with those other pairs:
All ready - already
Any thing - anything
All right - alright
where the two versions mean different things. With any more vs. anymore it would be like:
Only two apples? Don't you have any more apples?
No apples? Don't you have apples anymore?
