anyless? and what about it?
anybody can use whatever he wants, the point is - where and when. shortcuts are very convinient if you're chatting on a messenger. but I wouldn't recommend to use'em in your business email. _________________ If you love her set her free, if she comes back... (c)

it's not just ok, it's how it has to be.
how come your english is so good but you've never heard of the shall's death?
and what do you mean by you are anticipated? what are you anticipating for?
Well, I haven't been informed... I'd like to bring flowers... It will ever live in my memory... Oh, Shall, I don't know how to live without you...
I anticipated delapidating of great, magnificient Shakespear english... How can one adopt nowdays
XC (Sonnet 90)
Then hate me when thou wilt; if ever, now;
Now, while the world is bent my deeds to cross,
Join with the spite of fortune, make me bow,
And do not drop in for an after-loss:
Ah! do not, when my heart hath 'scap'd this sorrow,
Come in the rearward of a conquer'd woe;
Give not a windy night a rainy morrow,
To linger out a purpos'd overthrow.
If thou wilt leave me, do not leave me last,
When other petty griefs have done their spite,
But in the onset come: so shall I taste
At first the very worst of fortune's might;
And other strains of woe, which now seem woe,
Compar'd with loss of thee, will not seem so.
Well, just compare
Love me or hate me, its still an obsession.
Love me or hate me, that is the question.
If you love me then Thank you!
If you hate me then F*** you!
I'm fat, I need a diet.
No, in fact i'm just too light
And i ain't got the biggest breast-s-s, but i write all the best disses.
I got hairy armpits, but i don't walk around like this.
i wear a big baggy t-shirt that hides that nasty sh**.
May God bless this world! _________________ Я - не Ты

Thanks, I will try not to repeat such errors again) I hope there are no errors in those two phrases:)
Well, I'm sorry but "I shall" if u are overeducated to use "I'll"
ненене... вот такое уже точно not being used any longer.
What? "I will" is now ok? Well, well, well... My old english teacher would have decapitated me for such a prediction... I anticipated!
He must be VERY old...
I happened to meet Americans who did not know the meaning of the word "shall" In fact this word is now used only in legal documents in the meaning "necessarily" or "agrees to".
By the way, you forgot to capitalize the initial letter in the word "English".
One more innovation of the modern English: actually only few know the exact difference between the gerund and the infinitive, in most situations they are interchangeable (except for combinations with modal verbs where usage of the infinitive is obligatory). For example, one can say "I like to read" or "I like reading".
There WAS a difference between them in the classical English (the infinitive was used to denote intention while the gerund meant actual situation), but now this difference is forgotten. _________________ Социализм и религия - родные брат и сестра.

I guess it depends on what English you're using - British or American dialect.
"I will" is fine for American; however, I was taught in British English class (back in Russia) to use "I shall".

Hm....As far as I know there is still some difference in the usage of infinitive and gerung if we are talking about Standard Eng.
But in fact....nobody cares about it anymore

A native British girl taught English in our institute; according to her, "shall" is now obsolete even in Great Britain, it is used only in legal texts.
In fact, American cinema has influenced modern British, Australian, African and even Hong Kong English to much greater extent than expected. There are only minor differences in spelling and/or usage of some words, but they are quite comparable to those between German in Germany and German in Austria.
Some Americans I knew used to say that the best and grammatically purest English is spoken in Scandinavia _________________ Социализм и религия - родные брат и сестра. Они оба недооценивают биологическую природу человека.

It has some specific words and its specific accent but is in fact quite understandable. By the way, Nicole Kidman is Australian. _________________ Социализм и религия - родные брат и сестра. Они оба недооценивают биологическую природу человека.
It seems English language become more flexible. Really I don`t know that sometime ago usage of "will" was incorrect with first person. My schoolteacher did say me that words "shall" and "will" are interchangeable.
As for gerund and infinitive - I use them both in incorrect way I think:) And use them as if they would be interchangeable. The only way where they are not interchangeable is when gerund is used to show the "at-moment" state. Does it so?
Sorry if I wrote somethink stupid but my English grammar is VERY bad(((
