=Anyway, Anyways or any way?=

- We have words with separate meanings as a single-word compound or as two individual words. “Anyway” and “any way” are two that often perplex writers. These are entirely different terms that do indeed have distinct meanings.

__**“Anyway”** is an adverb, and it means regardless or in any event:__ > Marshall’s grades have slipped, but he plans to apply to Harvard anyway. __**“Any way”** is a paired adjective and noun meaning any particular course, direction, or manner:__ > Chloe is willing to help Marshall prepare for the SAT in any way she can. Then we have **“anyways”,** a colloquial corruption of “anyway.” It’s universally considered nonstandard and should be avoided altogether. It might help to remember that “anyway” is an adverb, and adverbs can’t be plural.
