@CK Why not release this sentence and others like it so that someone who would use this spelling can own them?

While most modern American writers would use "anymore" in this sentence, it's not uncommon to see "any more" in this kind of sentence among American writers.

That said, if you or any of your friends would be interested in recording some British English audio for us, I'd be willing to remove my audio file on this one and add a British English audio file instead, and then let you adopt this sentence as a UK representative.

Most Americans would only use "any more" in sentences like "We don't have any more coffee." (https://tatoeba.org/en/sentences/show/11147202)

Contrast:

I don't flirt anymore.
I don't flirt any more, but I don't flirt any less.

Homer & Jethro - I Don't Flirt Anymore.
