> Why don't you get rid of your motorcycle? You never ride it any more.

Note that this sentence is linked to a version with "anymore" ( #7819756 ), which I personally would use. (Note that I am from the US.)

From this site:
https://writingexplained.org/an...ore-difference

:::
Anymore (one word) is reserved for the meaning "any longer". In other words, when used as an adverb, the one-word spelling anymore is used.

You’re not a little kid anymore.

I, personally, find this distinction to be quite helpful, and most American writers and publishing houses observe it.

In British English, it is still quite common to see any more (two words) as an adverb in print. This is beginning to change, however, as some British writers and publishing houses opt to observe the distinction between the one-word and two-word spellings.
