Any day is the more preferred when talking about a general time frame. Usually the term is used to describe something that is happening soon, as in the next couple of days, or any day. This is such an informal term that most dictionaries don’t list it as an actual term on its own. Unlike anytime, anyday has not made its way into dictionaries in any form. Argument could be made that if anytime is an adverb, then so is anyday. Like all informal slang, it is up to personal preference in informal works. However, until the time comes that it is included in a dictionary, it is best to keep the two words separate in formal works. For some, whether the writing is formal or informal.
The correct one is any day.

- Do you often find yourself splitting hairs over life matters?
Who is familiar with the idioms "splitting hairs" ? Splitting hairs = to discuss, argue, hang out in the trivial details of something. Imagine if you guys decide to split a strand of hair into small pieces... How relevant would that be? Not at all right? So whenever we discuss about trivial, unimportant matters, we are splitting hairs (over something)
Best answer
Often, it's used in an argument. When one person keeps insisting on a trivial detail above the main argument. It can be a response to frustration.

My student is used to saying (I have ants in my pants) each time I ask her present something, she is a good presenter, always delivers the goods but never appreciates herself.
- Beloved students, how comfortable do you feel with small talk in English?
Coffee talk, small talk, chit chat... Whatever we call it, trivial conversation plays a key role in communication. How comfortable are you guys with this particular type of conversation?

I see no problem in that. It can be useful especially you're networking and you wanna break the ice.
