I see this all over and it always goes without comment, so I’m curious; is “and” used instead of “an” in a dialect I’m unaware of? Kinda like how “anymore” has a slightly different usage (I think in the southern us)
Yes, in my neck of the woods it’s always used in a negative statement (we don’t go there anymore, can’t anymore, etc) but some places use it in positive statements kinda like “nowadays” (we go there anymore). Trips me up a bit whenever I encounter it.

Anymore has different usages??

I’ll be on the lookout anymore.
