    interesting that etymology of the word explains the origin of both forms - “in any way” vs. “any ways” - which makes sense to my ears, as “in” only fits a singular way “in a way”, not “in a ways”.

    Which also means that both are grammatically correct but it makes it understandable how some people would prefer the “anyways” form with the “in” word no longer being used.
