@emptywheel Actually, no they just teach "shall" versus "may"
Don't they teach you that in lawyering school and judging school? Shall versus will?

@bmaz That doesn't set off alarm bells, the selective replacement of "shall"? -
@emptywheel So, at least to me, it is a confusing thing to do. Why did they do that? Have they redefined "will" like they did imminence? -
@bmaz It's actually nowhere near the top 10 of my concerns. A bigger one is they added ODNI to reviews on PRTT but not BRFISA.

@emptywheel It's shall versus may. Modern drafting generally treats will as equal to shall. A compulsion. -
@JoeDunman OK. Should I worry they did it selectively? -
@emptywheel Maybe, but there shouldn't be any operational difference. Shouldn't... -
@JoeDunman Shouldn't. But yet, they selectively changed it!
