Is this some meme where “may” is being replaced with “might”, or some word substitution gone awry? I don’t get it.



Clearly the author wrote the article with multiple uses of "may" and then used find/replace to change to "might" without proofreading.


Yeah noticed this too. Really weird for a professional publication


:)) Apparently. I don't have a better guess. Well spotted


auto correct gone awry


Or May in another language?


Or non native English speaker who pronounces "may" the same as "might" and didn't realize the difference?

It is maybe not coincidental that "may" and "might" mean nearly the same thing which bolsters the case for auto correct gone awry.
