Description
I noticed that though we have some linting for mixing up "do" and "due", we do not flag "do diligence".
While looking into it I discovered that people write this not only instead of "due diligence" but also instead of "do due diligence".
I couldn't find a wide enough variety of usages to confidently build a proper linter with context to differentiate between the two. So instead made a Weir rule with a
messagethat should hopefully allow the user to choose the right suggestion.I hereby invite anyone to improve this linter with logic that can determine which of the two possible suggestions would be the right one.
How Has This Been Tested?
Two unit tests are included, one for each variant.
