There is always a learning
From every conversation
For it is a dialogue
Not a monologue…
Once I was having a conversation
With a well read corporate lawyer
In the depth of discussion
I casually said,
‘Anyways it’s fine’
And quickly, although polietly he says,
” Mam don’t get me wrong,
It’s not, ‘Anyways but anyway’
I thanked him for sharing without hesitation but in confidence.
While in formal situations of writing or speaking this is the proper way, in casual use of language Anyways works alright as well.
After all its just a matter of speech.
The choice of when to use it so, is yours to know and take…
Anyway now, I stand corrected.
I share this so anyone who also says ‘anyways’ in slang can self correct, if they choose to… for there is always room for a little self improvement.
After all…
We are what we learn
We are what we imbibe
We are what we share.
To learn is to share and to share is to learn some more.

In a casual conversation, we freely use that, saying ‘Anywaaaaaaaaaaaaaaays’ or something like that, prolonging the last syllable to agree on something or to end a topic and move on to the next one. But of course, in a business conversation (like at work), we hardly use the word. Instead, we use ‘moving forward…’ or ‘moving on…’ if we need to touch on the next topic.
But you are absolutely right, to learn is to share, and to share is to learn some more. And thank you for sharing this. 😊

Can understand and relate, words that create an effortless ease of understanding connection in casual communication.
As long as words drive the message home… it has served it’s purpose
