That's right. It's incorrect in BrE to write it as one word.

That comes second in your post.

I'd say "nevermind" is incorrect in all variants of English. It isn't a word, just as "comehere" and "takecare" aren't words either.

I had to make repeated attempts to type those examples as the auto-correct function kept inserting a space.

The Cambridge dictionary says it's a two-word phrase.

That's right.

I blame Kurt Cobain. Johnny Rotten had it right.

 

[Barque]

I'm afraid I haven't got the reference.

I know who Cobain was and Johnny Rotten sounds familiar.

@sadra1400 The confusion (for you) at the start of the thread arose because in your title you used "never mind" first, then "nevermind" but in post #1 you put "nevermind" first and then "never mind". Try to be consistent.
