English Edification Enrichment (24)

What is the difference in meaning between

"That may be the reason she didn't turn up" and

"That might be reason she didn't turn up"?

For most people the two sentences have more or less the same meaning.
Careful users of the language, however, maintain a subtle distinction between the two. In the two examples, "may" and "might" indicate "possibility".
Some argue that "might," indicates a lesser degree of possibility than "may". By the way, the word "might" is not the past form of "may".

* It may rain tomorrow. (50% chance of rain)
* It might rain tomorrow. (30% chance of rain)
