Is that an improvement? Is the plural of "dup" (used as an
abbreviation of "duplicate") "dupes" not "dups"?

My view is that the abbreviation of "duplicate" is not "dup" but
"dupe", hence the plural "dupes".

For "duplicate" the noun, that is. For "duplicate" the verb I'd be ok
with "dup" as the abbreviation. "to dup" sounds and looks better than
"to dupe" :-)

We could also not abbreviate that word to avoid discussion there.
