That can't be true about MAY DAY. That would be horrible French, and it

M'aidez is the usual rendering.

I assume it's good or at least acceptable French, because I find this
in a French-language site: "pouvez vous m'aidez SVP??". ("Can you
help me, please?")


That is certainly a correct statement as a whole, but that does not mean just "help
me!", which would be an imperative form, or "aidez-moi" in french.
