anyplace (adv.)

Is this understanding correct?
1. anyplace; anywhere (adv.) - AmE
2. anywhere (not anyplace) - BrE
Thank you.

Itasan, This question is kind of hard to answer because I am not sure what you are asking for. Sure anyplace means anywhere in AmE. And I would assume the same in BrE - though I am not positive.

What would anywhere mean in BrE, if not anyplace?

Dear Itasan,

It is my belief that you are correct. I have seen «anyplace» and «anywhere» often in American English. But I have not often seen «anyplace» in British English.

Kind regards,
