at anytime / anytime / at any time

[Tedwonny]

Dictionaries say:

anytime: (adv) at a time which is not or does not need to be decided or agreed

at any time: (prepositional phrase) ever Parking is not allowed here at any time


Please correct me if I'm wrong
1) both are synonymous because the prepositional phrase basically functions as an adverb like anytime/ever.
2) The above sentence can be: Parking is not allowed here anytime.
3) There is not 'at anytime' because you need to have a noun/pronoun/noun phrase/noun clause after a preposition; an adverb alone won't do!

Very many thanks!

I haven't posted in this thread so far because, as far as I am concerned, there is no word 'anytime'. I was waiting to see if anybody claimed that there was.
