                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[I think the use of shall is a generational and regional thing. It is definitely a mid-South word used regularly by my generation and those preceding mine. The 1960s was full of &quot;shalls,&quot; such as &quot;We shall over come&quot; by Martin Luther King Jr., &quot;I shall not seek nor will I accept ...&quot; from a famous Lyndon B. Johnson speech, and others. Most southern church songs of the pre-1960 era used &quot;shall,&quot; as in &quot;Shall we gather at the river...,&quot; Who shall wear the robe and crown...&quot; and many others.

I could go on and get even more boring but long story short is that &quot;shall&quot; has been in common usage in my lifetime in the upper and mid-South. It is old-style English.

Traveller, if you are reading this, it was good to read your post again. Hope everything is getting better and better for you.

I shall now retire for the night.  <img src="/attachments/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif" alt=":D" title="Very Happy" />]]></content:encoded>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[Soze: I take it you're talking about &quot;satirical&quot; here, not &quot;shall&quot;?

I'd say both the word itself and Zodiac's general style <i>could</i> indicate a writer, someone who is familiar with the concept of playing around with words and meanings.

I believe what Morf says above is true. Most people would use a different term - or more precisely, sticking to the context in which Z used it, I'd say most people wouldn't use any adjective at all and just say that the Exorcist was the best comedy they'd seen in a while, which conveys pretty much the same joke.

It's striking. He uses what could be described as a technical/academic term - yet he characteristically (for him, not for an academic) misspells it.]]></content:encoded>

 This is true, but here's a bit of usless trivia concerning YHWH's demands of 'Thou Shall not....'

 It's commonly believed that when God gave Moses two tablets (when I first read Exodus I assumed Moses had a headache at Sinai) that the commandment given was &quot;Tou Shall not Kill.&quot;  

 It's actually &quot;Thou shall do no Murder.&quot;

 I know! Fascinating piece of trivia isn't it, lol.

 But in all seriousness there is, it could be argued, a vast difference between killing a person, and committing murder. Killing could be in self defence etc.]]></content:encoded>
