May it be said "in delay" as for something taking place fifty years after the moment it had to occur?

Place and time shifting do not prevent developed action from being [be] (or [is]) clear and understandable.

Thanks a lot

Good day, Bushwhacker.

We don't use 'may' with 'you' for permission as you have done, above [underlined].

Can/Could/Will/Would you correct ... ?

May I ask you to correct ... ?

The subjunctive is almost dead in modern English and there are only a few forms left. These forms seem to be used with certain phrases.

I don't see any need for a subjunctive form in any of your examples, BW. Actually, I'm not at all sure that I can even see any possibility for a subjunctive.
