But the previous poster didn't use it in that way.
at the present time : NOW, NOWADAYS
Hardly a day passes without rain anymore.
That's not how they used it though. Grammatical construction matters
Just more subscription hell. It's ridiculous anymore.
"It's ridiculous these days"
"I don't go out any more"
It's ridiculous nowadays. Have no idea how you're still not getting it, it's actually impressive.
I understood perfectly and I bet a lot of others did too. I bet you understood it. So, mostly or completely successful use of the word to inject the desired thoughts into others' heads. So, the word works that way, even if it sounds awkward to you.
It's colloquial to the USA, it's an expression. My grammar is usually good except when I bastardize it to make a point like, "I aint gonna take that crap" or "grammar corrections are getting ridiculous anymore." In the USA you'd have to live under a rock to have never heard that expression.
Leave that grammar nazi shit on reddit.
Never understood why people get upset for learning. My sister is 33 and has her own business. Every time she writes emails or company ads, she types at a 3rd grade level.
She uses the wrong "there", says "should of", etc.
When I try to teach her, she gets angry. Why? Do you want to stay stupid?
I don't believe it's so much about the correction itself as it is about ignoring what the person said and only piping up to correct. Imagine we are having a conversation and you spend 3 minutes telling me about how you struggled to get the lug nuts off your tire this morning while changing it and when you finished, all I had to offer you is "they're on the rim, not the tire" and nothing more. It can come off as a bit rude.
Time and place. Quite arrogant to assume someone isn't just using local phrasing, as is the case here. People talk differently all over. The official use of English is simply official. How people actually use it in their communities is correct. Hope I'm being clear with my sentiment here.
Please sir, the only English I use is the Queef's English.
That's not how that word works.
Edit: I didn't say I I've never seen it used that way, i just find that particular use of it to be wrong.
The positive sense usage of anymore is a regional thing: https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/anymore
It's jarring nevertheless

It's all in the way the person points it out.
