 * Can anyone help me?
 * Today I wrote a post for my website (above). I published the post and then went
   into Google Webmaster Tools and cached the post to get it indexed quickly. It
   is the first one above.
 * About half an hour later I noticed that I had mis-spelt the title of my post 
   as it read: –
 * Going To University? – **Your** Likely To Need A Student
    Bank Account
 * It should have read: –
 * Going to University? – **YOU ARE** Likley To Need A Student Bank Account
 * So, I changed my page title in WordPress and the permalink and then clicked UPDATE
   to republish it and then went into Google Webmaster Tools and cached the amended
   post using the amended permalink title.
 * Sometime later I checked to see if the post was now indexed showing the amended
   permalink but it was still showing the original incorrect permalink followed 
   by the corrected one. I then went into cache the incorrect one again and it said
   it was REDIRECTING and I also cached the correctly set up permalink one.
 * However, as you can see from the above when I do a search in Google using some
   of the text from the post the post is still appearing twice showing both the 
   incorrect and correct permalinks.
 * Should I be concerned that Google may think that I am tying to create duplicate
   content in some way as they are showing the post twice and penalise me?
 * Would it be safer for me just to delete the post in wordpress and then when Google
   see that it is not their and remove it from the web republish it?
 * How can I resolve the matter so that the post with the correct permalink is the
   only one appearing or do I have to just wait until Google revisit the post with
   the incorrect permalink and delete it so that only the post with the correct 
   permalink shows?
 * Apologies for the length of this enquiry
 * Thank you in advance for your help.
