In the requirements for a contest, it says to "submit in duplicate". Does this mean ONLY to avoid submitting an original or does it mean to submit two copies of the entry?

I've heard this, and always thought it meant submit one one copy and keep an exact copy for yourself. I don't actually know though, I can't remember ever having been told that it's just what I've assumed.

Caught you on Yahoo Answers ;)

Submit in duplicate can either mean one of two things depending on the context. When you see it in a business or work context, it usually means submit the original and one copy. In a literary context, it just means submit two copies. That way, the review board can mark up one copy and leave the other copy mark free.

This planet has - or rather had - a problem, which was this: most of the people living on it were unhappy for pretty much all of the time. Many solutions were suggested for this problem, but most of these were largely concerned with the movement of small green pieces of paper, which was odd because on the whole it wasn't the small green pieces of paper that were unhappy.
