British vs. American Usage

Gold Rule
Negation and Questions
Use 'any more' in questions to ask about additional quantities or states ('Do you have any more time?'). Use 'not any more' to indicate cessation ('I don’t have any more time.').
Word Origin
From Middle English 'enymore', combining 'ani' (any) + 'more'. The space between 'any' and 'more' emerged in Early Modern English, with 'anymore' as a variant spelling.
Usage Notes
In British English, 'any more' is typically used in questions ('Do you have any more tea?'), while 'not any more' indicates cessation ('I don’t drink tea any more'). In American English, 'anymore' is often used as a single word in both contexts.
