The decline of American grammar

[sonrisa]

We were listening to "I Can't Help Falling in Love With You" (one of the kiddo's favorite songs). I noticed that Elvis uses "shall" correctly. Can you imagine that in a modern song?

[VillainV]

The British people I work with (especially the really posh ones) use "shall" all the time, and I love it :-) I'm totally brining it back with me.

Edited:  Or perhaps I should say, "I shall continue to use it when I return to America!"   Seriously, it makes me feel like one of the rich people from Downton Abbey.

Wait, people don't use the word "shall" anymore? I guess I'm old for being in my early 30's because I use it all the time, lol.
