@patrascan @resuna, hmm. Some say that may is right; I don't believe them.

@lp0_on_fire @resuna "may" means permission has been granted. ("Mum said I may have cake for dinner") "Might" means possible or potential to happen. ("When it's cloudy, it might rain"). Two words, two very different meanings. Saying "it may rain tomorrow" actually means rain has been granted permission to fall from the sky. "May" is so used so freqently that many people think it means the same as "might".
