Anyway vs. any way #1 (permalink) Mon Feb 27, 2006 10:51 am   Anyway vs. any way
 

Hi, I've just seen this phrase:

I will help you in anyway that I can.

Shouldn't the sentence read:

I will help you in any way that I can?

I mean, there is a difference between the adverb anyway and the phrase in any way which contains the noun way, isn't it?
Thanks again,
Andreana

Yes, Andreana, you're right. Whoever wrote that sentence made a mistake (not an unusual one), and should have written any way.
