Anyway, does anyone know - one word or two?

Anyone of us can read any thing and wonder if any body, any where, spots the mistakes that we do. 

That sentence doesn't look right, does it? Some of those words should be split up and some joined together. But which?

Well, here are some simple rules:

1. Anywhere and anything are always one word.

2. Any time is always two words.

3. Anybody, anyone and anyway are usually one word but not if the emphasis is on the second part of the word. For example "Any one of you could have got that question correct."

Any one of us can read anything and wonder if anybody, anywhere, spots the mistakes that we do. And now you know.
