deal of discussion among grammariansand laymen alike.Conspicuous among these debated ques-tions we find the following:whether to maintain the distinctionsbetween shall and will,whether to use can and may interchange-ably,whether to ignore the differences between should and would,and could and might.Let us consider these points in detail.  \nSHALL AND WILL  \nAs long ago as 1789,Noah Webster made a statement to theeffect that because so many persons in this country confused shalland will,there was great danger that the distinction between thetwo words would soon be lost.Some authorities today—almost150 years later—are still prophesying that within a few yearsshall and will will be interchangeable.In view of the duration ofthe controversy,however,it seems hardly probable that the dis-tinctions between the words will be immediately discarded.Asa matter of fact,careful speakers do differentiate between them.  \n# The Use of Shall and Will in Statements\n\nThe rules governing shall and will in statements may be givenas follows:  \n(1)To indicate simple futurity,use shall with the first personand will with the second and third persons.Simple futurity refers  \nto some future time,with no other idea than that of the merepassing of time.  \n(2)To express determination or threat,promise or consenton the part of the speaker,use will with the first person and shallwith the second and third persons.All these ideas may be in-cluded under the single term volition,which comes to us from theLatin word volo,meaning I desire or I wish.  \nThese same rules seem a little simpler when presented in tabu-lar form.  \nSHALL AND WILL  \n## 1.For Futurity\n\n(a)Use SHALL with I and we.  \n(b)Use WILL with all other subjects.  \n## 2.For Volition\n\n(a)Use WILL with I and we.  \n(b)Use SHALL with all other subjects.1  \nThe rule for futurity is just the reverse of that for volition.  \nThe following sentences all illustrate the use of shall or willto indicate simple futurity:  \n1.I shall be happy to see him.(first person)  \n2.We shall take the night train.(first person)  \n3.You will be late unless you hurry.(second person)  \n4.He will not be here when you return.(third person)  \nThe next group of sentences express volition.  \n1.I will do it,I promise you.(Promise)  \n2.You shall not go to college if you disobey.(Threat)  \n3.She shall do as I say.(Determination)  \n4.He shall accompany us.(Determination)  \n5.Yes,I will go to lunch with you now.(Consent)  \nThe word shall is used throughout the Ten Commandmentsand the Constitution of the United States to set forth certain com-  \npulsory duties and obligations.The first seven sections of ArticleI of
