Actually, 'Anyways' has nothing to do with 'Anyway.' It is more like our 'ok yaar' or 'chalta hai.' Anyway is more rigorous. I would have not accepted Anyways 20 years back. Now, it is ok to use it. Norman Lewis would fume, but Anyways, Indian English is spoken by more people than English English I guess! Take your call!

That is right. Anywasys, 'anyways' is not an Indian invention. It is an American slang our youngsters have picked up. The author is not up to date with present day English and considers them mistakes. Hilarious!
