. Would you mind is simply the set phrase of courtesy when directed at a listener to whom the request or inquiry is made.
In other contexts, will is certainly possible: Do you think your brother will/would mind my coming to his reception late? . _________________ Canadian-American native speaker who teaches English for a living at Mister Micawber's ESL cafe: Interview with Mr. Micawber |
