That is the whole case, as I understand it. Hence I have often thought that it would be a good practical rule for an Irishman, in this matter, never to use shall unless he is sure that he is using it right. If he is doubtful, it is better to run the risk of making a mistake that is natural to him as an Irishman, than to run the risk of making himself ridiculous. There is one stock example of the Irish usage, which is to be found in nearly all books on the subject, and which cannot be too strongly repudiated. The story is told that an Irishman, getting out of his depth in the water, cried out, 'I will be drowned, and nobody shall save me'. This story is simply incredible to Irish readers. It probably owes its origin to some ingenious writer, who first took on trust the general rule, that an...
