"Anyone" or "Any One" Differences
"Anyone" or "Any One" Differences
Hi! My friend texted, "Any one of us can help," but I think they meant "anyone can help." Are both correct, or is there a difference in meaning?

Hi there, GoldenGlowVibes . Both you and your friend are correct.
"Anyone" is a single-word pronoun that refers to any person, while "any one" is a two-word phrase that refers to a single person or thing.
For example:
"Can anyone answer this question on the board?" the teacher asked.
(The teacher is asking one of the students to answer the question but she's not asking a particular student.)
Any one of these microphones is working so just pick one and go to the stage already.
('Any one' is usually followed by the preposition "of".)
