Bruce Momjian a écrit :
Standard English uses "may", "can", and "might" in different ways:

        may - permission, "You may borrow my rake."
        
        can - ability, "I can lift that log."
        
        might - possibility, "It might rain today."

Unfortunately, in conversational English, their use is often mixed, as
in, "You may use this variable to do X", when in fact, "can" is a better
choice.  Similarly, "It may crash" is better stated, "It might crash".

I would like to clean up our documentation to consistently use these
words.  Objections?


No objections at all... it can only ease translations.

(Who says were obsessive?)  :-)
