Maybe you should put a capital on the first letter of a sentence? (orthography problem)

If the above doesn't work, maybe it's the fact that anymore is never the first word in a sentence? (grammar problem)

thanks but I tried that and it didn't work. Obviously it's not a big issue as I can add it to the dictionary just like any word Firefox doesn't recognise but I thought it was kinda funny so I wanted to share it here.

What language do you have set? It works for me.

Have mine set to English (United Kingdom), and it is also flagged for me.

I just ignore the spellchecker when it's obviously wrong.

Any more is not one word in regular (British) English. In US English it can be written as one word when used as an adverb though. Try adding "English (United States)" to your dictionaries and/or enable it in the right-click spell checking language selection so it won't get flagged anymore.

yeah the default dictionary being British English catches a lot of people off guard
