Apparently I do a funning thing with "anymore", where it substitutes for "now" or "these days".

I ain't done nothing. (I didn't do anything)
'sup (Hi. How are you?)

Weird convo:

1: A'right? (Hi. How are you?)
2: A'right. You? (Hi. I'm good thanks. How are you?)
1: A'right. Yeah. (I'm good thanks)

Another:

Bob: How was work?
Fred: Good.
Bob: What did you do at work? Something productive, I hope.
Fred: Yes, I didn't do nothing, I swear!
Bob: Well, there usually isn't no one doing nothing.

>"anymore"

Wrong, correct would be "any more".

>I ain't done nothing.

This is not a weird grammatical structure: it is a moronic ungrammatical structure.

It looks correct to me. It means I have done something.

Not necessarily. If the dialect is one which has negation agreement, which I would suspect it likely has, it would actually mean "I have done nothing" in one without it (like GA or RP).
