We all make errors, and sometimes, those errors can make us look like idiots. Especially when that error gets published out in the world, even though it likely went through a host of gatekeepers to get there. And that's why we're here. To shame those gatekeepers with an internet scarlet S. I don't expect you to be perfect. It takes a village, and every village has an idiot. But for the sake of your company's reputation, hire a village that has at least one member THAT CAN SPELL.

It was THAT kind of a party

Here's how annoying I am now. I was over at a friend's house for her birthday. The party was winding down, and we were all standing in the kitchen helping to clean up. Well, everyone else was helping to clean up. I was scouring all the food items on the counter, looking for things I could post to this blog. Fortunately, I was successful. And not just a jerk who didn't help clean up. Sort of.

ANYWAY.

It was a very healthy party. 
Based on sentence construction here, MAYBE is incorrect. MAY BE, the modal verb, is what's necessary. If the sentence lacked the and after descended, then the adverb MAYBE would probably work.

If you're ever not sure which to use, the internet recommends swapping in the word perhaps to see if it works in the same spot. If it does, MAYBE is fine. If it does not, MAY BE is what you want.

I'll allow the typesetting wonkiness since they clearly wanted the text to fit in this space.
