“Anymore. It’s a contraction of sorts from ‘any’ and ‘more’. It means once, but no longer.”
“I asked of its intent, not its meaning.”
“It means that I never wish to see you again.”
“There’s that word again. ‘mean’.”
“Sorry. I am intent on never seeing you again.”
“I see. It has more meanings you know.”
“What does?”
“Anymore does. Have you ever heard the joke: I don’t drink anymore… but I don’t drink any less, either. It can mean an amount of matter or transition of matter not exceeding the previous amount or amount in transition.”
“Let me try this again. I mean that I don’t want to see you ‘anymore’ the same way that you told me that you don’t love me ‘anymore. ‘ Is that more clear? Do you follow, now?”
“Define ‘follow.’”
