Коль скоро мы обсуждаем здесь английский язык, второго слова "will" в этом предложении быть не должно. Вообще.


Since we do discuss English here, I think second “will” is not a problem. The only thing I would use “,” before “if”. I will ask my wife today, see what she thinks.

We don't "do discuss", we "are discussing" :-)
But second "will" is a problem in several respects. First, it is gramatically incorrect. Secondly, if it is correct, it completely changes the meaning of the sentense, as described above, making it a rather strange and forceful construct like: "Тебе что-то понадобится, если я буду делать для тебя my best". See? Nah, no second "will".

discussing, disguising, disgusting, hmmm ....
just talk to my wife! she's an English major. there is nothing grammatically wrong with 'will', though she said that she would use the word 'should' instead.

Should, или would. Will полностью меняет смысл предложения, but gramatically there's nothing wrong with it.
