I’ve seen since that “anytime” is not considered wrong in the US, although it’s still considered incorrect in Britain.

I came across this post recently and thought I should edit it to reflect that duality. Thanks for bringing it to my attention. :)

DatSplat has a nice entry about this issue: http://www.datsplat.com/grammar-any-time-versus-anytime-one-word-or-two-words/

It is like saying ‘cannot’ can only be spelled ‘can not’.

Anytime is a valid word – see http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/anytime.

b. is correct. For a. to be correct, it must read “at any time”
