Anymore vs any more

All the OED says about it is "Also often written as one word since the 20th cent., especially in sense C. 1." Sense C. 1. is exemplified by their 2008 citation from The Independent "13 Feb. (Extra section) 22/2 How come you're not funny anymore?" The OED normally labels things US when appropriate.

I'm an American, and I still write it as two words in that sense, in case that matters. The only other sense where it seems to me to be possible to use the one-word form is the colloquial positive sense, as in "What's with you anymore?"
