 I don't mean to cause another quarrel.
If you have read the previous messages, you may see that someone has said that my use of "Would you mind..." is wrong English. He said "Would you mind...." is wrong because "Do you mind" is wrong. I then said "Would you mind..." is different from "Do you mind...", and "Do you mind..." is wrong doesn't mean "Would you mind..." is wrong, but he still said "Would you mind" and "Do you mind" have the same structure and so "Would you mind" is wrong English.
I want to point out his argument is not logical. "Do you mind.." is wrong DOESN'T mean "Would you mind..." is wrong.

Summer，你知唔知道唔係話你講一句「我要發生罵戰」先叫發生罵戰嫁？ 'How come someone is so poor in logic.'呢一句就已經足夠令人反感，唔該你自重一下。
人地有冇話過'"Would you mind..." is wrong because "Do u mind is wrong"'先？係你誤會左人地意思，定係人地唔logic呀？
有時唔係話出動到粗口或者俗語先會令到「人身攻擊」成立嫁，就憑你o個句話人地唔logic就已經可以話你係人生攻擊。
