Usage notes

  • A statement such as "Alice doesn't likeA any more than she likesB" may mean that she likes both of them equally, or that she doesn't like either of them at all. With no further information, the latter would usually be assumed.
  • As an adverb,any more is the more common spelling inBritish English, whileanymore is more common inAmerican English, although both forms can be encountered in both varieties. As a determiner,anymore is considered a misspelling.
