I’m enjoying the banter you invited me into. 

so you want a semantic discussion? 

[JimmyBT]

Isn’t a noun a person, place or thing?   That’s  what school house rock said anyway.

And it IS semantics

no its not...to the orginal point, duel is a noun, dual is an adjective. Semantic is an adjective, semantics is a noun.

Gents, proceed cautiously.  If we keep spelling like this, pretty soon we'll be Facebook.

I’m pretty stupider but not more stupider than you.

Very interesting grammar take:  Can an adjective be nounified?   See what I did there, made a noun - actually the freaking word NOUN - into a verb!!!

Cincinnati Reds,  St. Louis Blues, Homestead Grays, New Zealand All Blacks.  I am leaving out the Cleveland Browns as they were named after Paul Brown who was a person, place, or thing and therefore a noun.

It is very common to turn a traditional adjective into a noun and make it plural.  I am siding with Duals as approved lexicon.

so you think the marketing of professional sports teams should have abritary authority over grammar as an academic subject?

I don't deny your argument but it sounds like a confusion of what level we are arguing at.

I thought Reds was short for Red Stockings. 

[JimmyBT]

Duals is just short for dual meets.  - / * were just left out

I don't have the authority to grant or deny authority.  I am simply pointing out historical usage.  I will add example(s) of amateur sports marketing Nounifying an Adjective - Penn Relays.  It is just cooler sounding than Penn Relay Races.

Its American English.  There are no concrete rules.  We’ll do anything to shorten things up.
