Hi r/grammar, a question recently popped up on a student's English test. It's causing some confusion. Here it is:

I don't care if he __________ it or not. It must be done by someone next week.

a) will do b) did c) does d) do

What would be correct, given that the intended "tense" is next week, calling for future tense? It seems natural to use c) does, but the student's English teacher insists it is a) will do.

Any ideas?

Lately I have been unable to open any files with VLC, video or otherwise. The VLC window pops up, sits for a moment, then times out to Not Responding. Sometimes I can get into Preferences, sometimes not. I run Windows 7 64 bit and outside of a recent windows update all of my hardware has remained the same, no recent changes. I've run Windows Defender and Malwarebytes and nothing pops up. Is it possible that Windows Update has caused some problem with VLC running?

I have tried resetting the preferences, deleting the VideoLAN folder, and doing fresh re-installs.
