Subject:Using the word "may" From:Mr Smith <techwritermw -at- altavista -dot- com> To:TECHWR-L -at- LISTS -dot- RAYCOMM -dot- COM Date:26 Jan 2000 08:44:27 -0800
Hi,
I've checked several sources and the archives, but I'm not sure what to to about the following sentence:
"Depending on [blah], you may or may not be able to...[blah blah blah]."
Any suggestions about how to rewrite? The use of "may" bothers me, but I haven't found a better replacement.
