Thanks!
Like I said in the other thread, this can happen and there is nothing wrong about it.

It is likely to happen and doesn't affect security in any way. The 24 words correspond to a 256 bits seed which is split in chunks of 11 bits (each chunk being used as the index in a 2048 words dictionary).
It's purely random and can happen pretty often.

I got my nano ledger s from the manufacturer. I actually had to reset it few times because i wasn't sure if i choose legacy or segwit etc and was told to use segwit. Each time i wrote a new pin and the 24 word phrase. Well this time i reset it again and put in new pin.
Then i noticed something very strange. Well i did it this time, i noticed that in the 24 word phrase, the same word is used twice. I had to make sure of this when writing it down because i thought didnt i just write the word down and it did. So imagine the word is outdoor and it shows that in word number 5 and word number 23. Is this normal? i made sure and went back and its the same word but different word numbers.
Can someone confirm this is normal? I thought well there is a huge word list. But the other thing is well if the same word is used twice in a 24 word phrase, well that is strange. Because with 24 word and a huge collection of words, shouldn't there be like an infiinite number of words where the same word doesn't show up twice?
