My choice would be a rewrite. Your sample sentence makes me think, "But why would I want to do this?" I would rewrite to something along these lines:
To limit the records displayed, set the date range to something meaningful to you, such as the current month, quarter, or sales quota period. Or For the most meaningful results, set the date range to the current month, quarter, or sales quota period. No may or might, can or shall. Just an imperative and why you'd want to do it. Just my $0.02, which as we know isn't worth much nowadays. :-) Donna -----Original Message----- I'm trying to determine which is the best word to use: Might or May. I am writing about determining which records get displayed based on start and end dates. At the end I want to offer the following suggestion: You may/might want to set the date range to your current month, quarter, or sales quota period. What's your choice (or complete re-write)?
