8b4ff8b6a1 Wording cleanup for error messages. Also change can't -> cannot.
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".

a134ee3379 Update documentation on may/can/might:
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.

03381695c6 Avoid referring to a specific version of the SQL standard except where
necessary, and be careful to refer to the right version where it is
useful to do so.  This partially reverts an ill-considered search and
replace from a few months ago.

c3f1b0f4dd This doc patch replaces all inappropriate references to SQL:1999 when it
is used as if it were the latest (and/or still valid) SQL standard.
SQL:2003 is used in its place. Patch from Simon Riggs.
