O.k.
Tell me you PA folks what the phrase "anymore" means to you.
I'm seeing it and hearing it in ways we never use it in New England.
What gives?

well, anymore, i just don't know.

i can't begin to tell you what it means or why we use it like we do. it's interesting that you noticed that one word...so true. we "anymore" it to death anymore.
