Интересно...а в Англии тем не менее во всю употребляют устаревшее SHALL :)

это зависит от местности и от возраста:
чем старше британские леди, тем они лучше знают,
насколько вульгарен весь это американский сленг британского языка).

еще shall используется как tag question во фразах начинающихся с let's

Shall we is a perfectly correct tag ending with the imperative Let's.

It is more formal in tone than its alternative okay? It's also somewhat more authoritative. Here are examples.

At a formal business meeting:

(a) Let's start now, shall we?

(b) Let's start now, okay?

Both are fine, but the speaker is making more of a declaration in sentence (a), and is asking for consensus in sentence (b).

shall и should gleb_krylov August 21 2014, 14:29:18 UTC
Спросил у одной австралийки по поводу разницы shall и should и вот что она ответила:
Shall is would u like me to do it. Is it preferable to someone else and should is morally..is it the right thing to do.
Shall is like asking permission. Should is like asking if its right or good. shall i means do u think i should do it and would you like me to do it. SHould is more like does it need to be done now.
shall is more nice and polite, should is more business.
