See, "Nowadays" may be a made-up, amalgamated word (expression?) but at least it has an apparent connection to its meaning: "In present times...". In both the example sentences, "Anymore" sticks out like a sore thumb.

In my eyes, it may as well read "We use a gas stove elephantine." or "We use a gas stove Shaka, when the walls fell."
