* Update documentation on may/can/might:Bruce Momjian2007-01-311-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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". Also update two error messages mentioned in the documenation to match.
