thank you very much for your fast response.

I do my vocabulary search on dict.leo.org and did not find "anyways". There
were sensible translations for "anyway". And I found a two forum threads,
partly in German. Actually "anyways" is in use as well, but there many
different explanations und views: regional variant (AE), slang, should not be
used in written English.

I'm afraid you're right.
