I hear you. Your idea of providing a general dictionary of words shows you understand that Governance is based on clear rule of law language. However, you should also understand that "Shall" and "will" have very important, distinct governing meanings.
Slopping with the language of Law has already damaged the foundation of what governing actually is, and how government rightly works for the Common Good. Being "above the law" means that those words mean nothing to a man who wields power and demands loyalty on penalty of one's very life. We're living through that.

We generally see things the same way because Democrats generally respect the words of the US Constitution.
