wherever you see it vs wherever you may see it

Both phrases are correct, but they have slightly different nuances. 'Wherever you see it' is more direct and confident, implying that the action of seeing will definitely happen. On the other hand, 'wherever you may see it' is more tentative and polite, suggesting a possibility of seeing it but not guaranteeing it.
