Why:

Several documentation files contain duplicated or redundant words that make the text grammatically incorrect or awkward to read.

No linked issue; these are minor typo corrections.

Hi GitHub team! 👋
I’m a computer science undergraduate looking to get involved in open source.

From what I’ve learned, an effective way to begin is with small “janitorial” tasks like the typo fixes I’ve been contributing. While exploring the repository, I noticed an opportunity to contribute something more substantial.

This pull request fixes several instances of consecutive duplicate words. Although these errors do not appear frequently, would an automated linting check for this pattern be useful to the GitHub team? If not, I’d appreciate any context on why it might not be a good fit for the repository.

Thank you!
