Do you say "anyways" (vs. "anyway") and if so, why?

Update:

Thank you all for the answers. I say "anyway" and for some reason it makes me cringe to hear "anyways". I suppose it has something to do with the fact that those who say"anyways" say it a LOT.

    "Anyways" isn't a  word.  How many "ways" would that be?

    No, I don't, since "anyway" is grammatically correct.

    "Anyway" is correct. "Anyways" is a New York slang thing. You hear it in movies a lot. Gangster slang.

    But "anyways" is in  Myrrium-Webster dictionary as a colloquialism 

    Source(s): Grew up in that area.
