Shall I?
Does anyone else feel kinda like a douchebag when saying (or writing!) "I shall" or "we shall" instead of "I/we will?" I so seldom hear it used that it's beginning to feel like saying "peripatetic" or somesuch crap to your buddy in the buffet line. People just don't do it. But it still kinda bothers me to use the non-traditional form (Mrs. North of 4th grade English would be SOO proud) so I just end up avoiding it as best I can or using the contraction, even in formal letters which in itself is kinda wrong...
I really don't want to sound pretentious, but neither do I want to sound like I didn't pay attention in 4th grade English cause I DID. I REALLY, REALLY did...
