Nothing wrong with 'any more' if you're using British English.

Not according to this: https://en.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/any_more

In that context it applies to Britain as it indicates that in North America it uses in the context "anymore". In that sense, sure. You are ok to use "any more" if you from the UK and, if Ka-pi happens to be from the UK, then that specific part I chose to highlight, I redact. It does not however, exclude the other grammar and spelling mistakes that were made.

Edit: Let me correct myself by saying that Ka-pi must be from the UK as a conditional to use it. Britain generally reflects the world in English rather than North America. I just happened to be born in the U.S. and used anywhere I went since that was the context I learned it form.

That would explain it - I am from the UK and assumed that you were too, from your profile. During my career I have had to write for both North American and Rest-of-world audiences, so I have needed to have a good knowledge on the spelling and grammar differences between American and British English. It's interesting to see how both versions of some expressions are becoming mutually acceptable on both sides of the Atlantic over time.
