Anyway not anyways. I don’t care what the dictionary says. Anyways sounds backwoods, plural, and the “s” is pointless.

That my wife HAS to dust off her feet before getting in bed. Dirty bed? Go fudge yourself!
US newspaper headlines.
"Polilitician lies, world ignores, carries on."
I get the idea is to abbreviate to fit as much in, but it hurts my mind every time! There has to be some retention of language!
When saying "Next" in reference to a time "Next" means the soonest occurrence of that. Don't skip one. If today is friday and I say "Next Saturday", that is tomorrow, not 8 days from now.

The kilometre—with the accent on the ki and the re ending—is a unit of distance. A kilometer—with the accent on the lo and the er ending—would be a device that measures kilos, like perhaps a bathroom scale? centimetre, millimetre, speedometer, altimeter.
I'm actually fairly forgiving about people saying it the wrong way, but when Siri gives me GPS directions, it really grinds my gears. She should know better!
