Are you familiar with the two types of "maybe"? the "definitely yes maybe" and "definitely not maybe"


The two types of maybe:

Maybe we should order another bottle of champagne = we definitely should order another bottle of champagne

Maybe I'll come = there is no chance you'll see me there

Maybe I'll come and share that extra bottle of champagne.   (Will I come or not and if I do will I share or not).  :-)  And Maybe Baby (Buddy Holly)
