Maybe or May be – What is the difference?
Maybe you are wrong.
It may be true.
▶ Maybe = perhaps
maybe is an adverb, meaning perhaps or possibly.
Maybe is an adverb that means perhaps.
✔ Maybe it will stop raining soon. = Perhaps it will stop raining soon.
✔ A: I thought Suzy would be here by
now. B: Maybe she forgot.
▶ May be = is possibly
may be is a verbal construction, formed of the modal verb may and the verb be, which can be used in sentences like “he may be in the office today”. Note that, if you were to rewrite this sentence with maybe, you would say “maybe he is in the office today”. Because maybe is an adverb, you need to add a verb to the sentence (is, a form of be, in that case).
May is a modal verb which indicates possibility.
✔ He may be lost = It is possible that he is lost
✔ This may be the best website = This is possibly the best website

"nose out of joint"
let's see what's that mean :
Your "nose is out of joint" when the look on your face and the way you act shows other people that you are upset.
Example: "What's wrong with him?" Answer: "His nose is out of joint because we forgot to invite him to the party."
Although a nose cannot actually be "out of joint", the way a finger or an arm comes out of joint, a
person who is upset may have a strange look on their face until they recover.
Example: "What happened was an accident; there is no reason for you to have your nose out of joint."
Another example: "We were only joking; don't get your nose out of joint

the meaning of "face off"
To "face off" with someone means to have a face-to-face confrontation. It can also be used figuratively, like "the
two teams will face off this Friday" meaning they have a match.
It means to discuss face to face but in a confrontational manner
for ex.
I had face off with my boss cuz I arrived late yesterday
Note : I have got all these notes from my Facebook
own English groups .
