I understand both you position, and the position of those who attacked you with downvotes…

Please read some of Geoffrey Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales…

written in the late 1300’s…

Different classes were fighting over the validity of the word “ain’t” back then.

That is STILL an ongoing class-war!

As for “anyway” vs “any way”, there is a consistent force pushing simplification of terminology that is most-commonly-used, hence what used to be separate words, becomes hyphenated, then fused, as a natural progression in language…

( my hyphenation has nothing to do with that: its simply that having to translate between thoughtshapes & English mouth-words is sooo damn limiting, & I’m trying to communicate the closeness-of-relation between groups-of-words, & show how some are more interwoven, but others aren’t.

Inescapable translation can suck, & be exhausting. )
