Topic: [APPROVED] Tag alias: dup -> duo

The tag alias #77027 dup -> duo has been approved.

Reason: extremely common typo, over 360 examples.

tag was also used to tag a character whose six posts have now been moved to dup_(relux).

EDIT: The tag alias dup -> duo (forum #453618) has been approved by @spe.

I'm always wary of 3-letter aliases in case there's some other word that could reasonably be typo'd or some other meaning it could have as well, but I thiiink dup -> duo is safe enough

it is already a 3-letter tag to begin with.

also, just to double confirm I checked all the posts that had this tag removed but were not tagged duo at the time, and (aside from the aforementioned character) only these two posts fall outside of either duo or duo_focus(which is already frequently mistagged):
post #685766 post #2461536
and the latter I can kinda see why it would get tagged as duo.

so in total, that's 412 typos (including mistags), 1 probable typo mistag, 6 normal mistags, 1 unclear.
that's an approximate 69:1 typo rate.

nice

The only possible meaning I would naturally come up with for dup is shorthand for duplicate
