MAYBE there are certain circs when you would use this word. A couple of times lately I have noticed its use and thought no no no that's not right!! I sat behind a courier van for ages in traffic yesterday. On it was a sign

"Driver maybe looking for address"

Sureley this is as informative as putting

"Driver maybe hungry" "Driver maybe thinking about sex" "Driver maybe wearing trainers"

In cases like this would it not be correct to use may be?

Please save me from my constant pondering and forgive any other unintentional errors in my post!
