Anymore/Nowadays

[57730]

Hello, I just read the sentence "Anymore, simply acknowledging the issue is a moral victory."
Here, anymore seems to be used in the same way as "nowadays". The website Yale.edu explains that "some speakers" accept sentences like this one. I wonder if this is a common use of "anymore" for a native speaker, and if I can say it without sounding weird.

It's used that way around here, or used to be. I don't think I've heard it for quite a while, though, so it may have fallen out of use. Learners should not use anymore as it's used in the quote.

When I lived in California, in the western US, I heard it sometimes. That was a while back. I don't know whether they still use it.

It's not standard, though, so you shouldn't use it.

I can't say I've ever heard this before. If GS and CB hadn't confirmed it was in use, I'd have thought it was a bizarre non-native error.

57730—you should definitely not attempt to use it.

This use of "anymore" is a feature of my dialect.
