Then it's maybe a typo.

It's a good idea to press space once after puctional marks.

Thank you Ali for bring up this immensly important point. It is soooo annoying! It annoys me more when I see it's not observed even in some formal texts such as newspapers, magazines, coursebooks, etc.

By the way,
"it's maybe a typo" sounds very awkward to me. I'm not sure whether it is incorrect though. I myself would either say "maybe it's a typo" or "it may/might be a typo."

If anyone has anything to say in this regard, please go ahead and let us know.
Evole and let Evolve.

"It may be a typo." sounds more appropriate.

But their meanings are completely different, then. You're aware of it, aren't you?
May it be a typo means that you hope it is a typo.
We indeed created man; and We know what his soul whispers within him, and We are nearer to him than his jugular vein.
