Difference between 'any more' and 'anymore'

[dingbb]

Test No. errors/elem-6 "Stop making plans", question 10

Today it seems to me that in all kinds of ways nobody cares no more if you want to make a complaint.

(a) it seems
(b) all kinds
(c) no more

Test No. errors/elem-6 "Stop making plans", answer 10

Today it seems to me that in all kinds of ways nobody cares any more if you want to make a complaint.

Correct entry: any more
The error was: (c) no more

You have found the error but your entry is incorrect.
Today it seems to me that in all kinds of ways nobody cares anymore if you want to make a complaint.

Hi,
I never realised there is a different for the two.
Please explain, thank you.

This is used here because the negative comes in the pronoun NOBODY and so it's not necessary to repeat it.

Hi again,

Torsten has just pointed out that your question probably referred to any more or anymore. To be fair both are acceptable and so really your answer isn't wrong. Anymore is mostly used in American English - but it's the same language after all!
