Re: Suricate - pbem LA newbie game - (OPEN)
Okay, I couldn't resist googling this:
Indicative:
I shall; you will; he, she, or it will. (same for plural).
Imperative:
I will; you shall; he, she, or it shall. (again, same for plural).
So, Torin is correct in the more common indicative sense. However, in the more forceful imperative it's the opposite.
Child: I won't tidy my room.
Mother: You _shall_. (i.e. a command)
This doesn't shed much light on "the meek shall inherit the earth" - apparently it's an order. Or more probably, an error.
Sorry for all the OT discussion on the thread for a game me and vfb aren't even in guys!
