It's rare that real world sentence productions come out as nicely as numbered examples in papers, which is why I had to make not of a recent exchange I overheard. Their content is a little strange, but this is the real world, where women have more names than Mary, and they do more things than hit John.
On the semantics of positive anymore:
- People have bigger and bigger feet anymore these days.
- Michelle annoys me anymore.
- She used to be cute, now she's annoying.
Sentences 2. and 3. were produced back to back, and just minutes after 1.
