That's because the English language evolved. Years ago, in countries where English was taught using the UK model, shall was used as an absolute; will was a probability.



Contractions are rarely used in formal writing, but they are phun to use!

Disrespect(ful) used to be a noun or an adverb, but within the past ten or fifteen years has became a verb.

What used to be, "The disrespect he demonstrated was unsettling." has become, "He disrespected me, and that's unsettling."

or, "Don't be so disrespectful!" has become, "Don't disrespect me!"
