  1. Just so you know, asking someone, "Please may you ..." when you want them to do something is not valid English. Please stop doing it, it just makes you look silly. :/

    "Please may I ...?" means "Please would you permit me to/Please do I have permission to ...?"

    "Please may you ...?" therefore means "Please would you permit you to/Please do you have permission to ...?"

    Which is nonsensical.

  16. I've sometimes wondered why on elevators it tends to say "maximum 10 persons" and not people.
