Much to my annoyance, Office 2007 drew a blue squiggly line, when I typed, “may be”. It wanted me to change that to “maybe”. Last I knew, the two are better placed as different words and not as single word. Call me old fashioned if you will, but I dread to think that some day, it will become acceptable to use words like “infact” and “atleast”.
And as I was typing this, I was presented a similar predicament on “some day” versus “someday”. Here’s the difference between the two - http://www.bartleby.com/64/C003/0272.html and then, here’s the difference between “maybe” and “may be” http://www.english-test.net/forum/ftopic23039.html

Hmm Office 2003 doesn't seem to do this?
Be thankful that you aren't being made to replace "you are too old fashioned" with "U R 2 old fashund".
