You are right, and that was not my purpose... > If it can be interpreted as > giving permission, it will be. "Might" doesn't have that ambiguity. I'll keep this in mind. > In the above situation, I would say either "It might be a good idea to > add them too". Or just ask directly "Could you please add them, too?" I hope this too is acceptable: "You might add those too" :-) Thank you very much for your English lessons, bear(ish) hugs, bearophile
