Do people even use “Shall” in the vernacular anymore? If someone used that word in a work meeting I’d probably do a double take even though I’d understand what they meant. At least in American English.
- kelseyfrog 4y agoI will drop a "shall" occasionally if I'm in the mood. "Shall we take a walk?", rather than the "Should we take a walk?" or even "Do you want to take a walk together?" It can lend itself a certain air of grace if delivered correctly. Then again, I'm an American mom in her late 30s - it might not have the same reception if said by anyone else.
