neutral  airmailrpl: what branch of English is this??
5 hrs
  -> Is it wrong?? XD
neutral  Henrique Serra: will can, will may; está errado, sim. Procure na Internet e leia o contexto (Will como nome próprio, will como testamento, mas não "will can").
10 hrs
  -> Sim, eu não começaria uma frase com "will", foi só a sugestão. Eu poderia tê-la explicado melhor. Mas o que eu não entendi... eu procurei no Verbix, e lá tinha a conjugação do futuro, desta maneira. Agora fiquei confusa...
neutral  lexical: Henrique is right - you can't say "will can". It doesn't exist in the English I speak.

  -> (...) E gostaria de agradecer aos três, por avisarem que está errado. E por não colocarem negativo para mim. =)

agree  Charles Heck: or will be is the best

agree  Clara Duarte: I'd go for "may be suject to updates". I've recently read something about abusing the use of "shall", especially in legal agreements. There might be a point to it. I know I use "shall" all the time! ;)
