Rule "may be (maybe)"

This is one of many errors that LanguageTool can detect.

Description:	may be (maybe)
Message:	Did you mean <suggestion>maybe</suggestion> (= perhaps)?
Category:	Possible Typo (ID: TYPOS)
Link:	https://dictionary.cambridge.org/de/grammatik/britisch-grammatik/maybe-or-may-be
Incorrect sentences that this rule can detect:	This is may be the best solution. Correction suggestion: maybe It appears this is may be some sort of an authorization problem. Correction suggestion: maybe
Correct sentences for comparison:	What's not yet done may be left undone. So the way in which integrations are currently done may be quite different from the way they will be done in the future. The easiest thing to do may be to handle this internally if we want a different notification at the higher threshhold.
