“In British English,
there has been a traditional rule of prescriptive
grammar stating that, when expressing pure futurity (without
any additional meaning such as desire or command), shall is to be used
when the subject is in the first
person (I or we), and will in other
cases. In practice this rule is commonly not adhered to by any group of English
speakers, and many speakers do not differentiate between will and shall
when expressing futurity, with the use of will being much more common
and less formal than shall. In many specific contexts, however, a
distinction still continues.
Shall is widely used in bureaucratic documents,
especially documents written by lawyers. Due to heavy misuse, its meaning is
vague and the US Government's Plain Language group advises writers not to use
the word.[1]”
