Dear ABC News,

I wasn’t surprised to see that the lowly and overrated Buckeyes lost the national championship. But I must say that I was disappointed in your headline.

As shown above you used the word Duel as Inigo Montoya would say, I do not think that it means what you think that it means.

du·el (dÅ«‘É™l, dyÅ«‘–)
n.

1. A prearranged, formal combat between two persons, usually fought to settle a point of honor.
2. A struggle for domination between two contending persons, groups, or ideas.

v., -eled or -elled, -el·ing or -el·ling, -els or -els. v.tr.

1. To engage (another) in or as if in formal combat.
2. To oppose actively and forcefully.

v.intr.

To engage in or as if in formal combat.

[Middle English duelle, from Medieval Latin duellum, from Latin, war, archaic variant of bellum.]

dueler du‘el·er or du‘el·ist n.

What you should have used is Dual. Tut, tut, tut.
