lots of people say "anyways" just not teenagers
this is a really silly thing to complain about

"Anyway" might be the proper word, but "anyways" is pretty common in speech. It's basically part of the language by now. Not appropriate for formal writing, maybe, but dialogue? Hell yes.

Re: TB4

[megalomaniageek.livejournal.com]

Pretty much this.

Re: TB4

[haleysings.livejournal.com]

Yep. Lots of people talk like this. Heck, I say it all the time and I'm an English major and know it's not proper for formal writing.

Sympathies, OP; 'anyways' pisses me off too. It's not so bad when it's dialogue, but you have to pick the right character to say it.

Interesting how you're kind of grammar policing games while having tense disagreement in your s!b.

For some reason I really hate seeing 'anyways' myself as a word in writing too OP- mostly in text rather than dialogue, but for some reason I don't like it in dialogue either (even though there as pointed out it makes sense, even though anyway is equally valid too). Don't know why it grates on me so much (I'm not exactly as bugged about some other things after all that drives other people up the wall- like accents written as they sound). It's just the way it sounds in my head I guess as I read it. It just really bugs me.

(Weird thing to get bugged over though I know.)

I think "anyways" may be a regionalism, but even though I try to be accepting of regionalisms, I have irrational hate for this one myself.

The writers of SGA had numerous (possibly all) characters use this nonstandard variant, regardless of their home countries/regions and dialects. This makes me twitch.

Again, I hate to be that person, but... what is this?

I think I recognize that robot from Batman Beyond, but I could be wrong.

Thank you!

[lemon-m.livejournal.com]

Don't tell me that 'anyway' vs 'anyways' is one of... those things. Like, are people going to pop an artery if I say it's just an extra S?

[(Anonymous)]

I just think it's a silly, playful thing. Anytime I read it, I imagine it being really singsong ("Aaanywaaaays!") and if you imagine it that way, it might be a little annoying. LOL
