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?) :-)
