  • It depends on if I feel comfortable around who I'm talking with. I say anyway if I'm with someone older, like a teacher, or a figure of authority, like a policeman (bad examples). I just use anyways when around my friends. ^_^

  • I prefer 'anyway', though I rarely ever use it.



    ...anyway, I'm off to the cabaret.

    I never really liked "anyway" that much, just because i don't like it(for some strange reason).
    it sounds too much like you have respect for no one.
    but, between the two in a normal sentence to change the subject, i'd rather use another word so i can't make people who disagree with my angry.

  • I used to use anyways a lot, but now I've began to use anyway. It sounds more proper I guess =P

  • I use both but mainly anyways. But it doesn't really matter since the use of either means the same exact thing.

  • I tend to use both but lately I've been trying to only use anyway. There's something about that extra s that doesn't seem right...I don't know maybe it's just me.

  • In writing, I just use anyway. Anyways doesn't seem right to me. In speech, it could be either or. I think I use anyway more than anyways, though. I think.

  • I probably use both, I don't really take notice of it. I use "anyways" more often when speaking, since it feels more like slang.

  • I use anyway frequently. Anyways bothers me due to its improper sound and difficulty to speak outloud (for me).

    I use both but I prefer to use anyway, I guess I find it to be more proper or something.
    But if I don't care, then I might use anyways.

  • I use an assortment. If I'm feeling formal or I'm not comfortable around someone I use 'Anyway'
    if I'm among friends or if I'm extreeeeeeemly Hyper then I use 'Anypoo' or 'Anyhoo' or 'Anyways' or some fun unique twist on the word

    I've used "anyhow" since ninth grade when my teacher corrected me. Typing, speaking, it doesn't matter. "Anyhow" comes out of my mind. Sure, I sound like some stuck-up grammar brat, but at least I sound intelligent. And people refuse to talk to me.
