Let’s compare the blue blocks:

Sure, two blue "Reply"s on the same indeed has its logic, and we all know it.

However, the user still does have the slightest fear: “If the top button says “reply” and pushing it starts making a reply, then maybe the identical bottom button will do the same, and throw out all I have painfully just typed!!”

Therefore please relabel it “Save reply”.

Or “Post Reply” maybe?

If you want this customization, you can add it to your instance via Admin, Customize, Text.

(Actually I am merely the lowest form of user. Never dreaming of running my own BBS. But let’s not tell anybody else here. (Who all must be admins.)) I am just telling you ideas for making Discourse better.  
That one might want to “fix it for their own one site” defeats the purpose of my post.

This seems a good idea. It took some trial and error to find the correct variable as there are 5 “Reply” texts - it’s `js.composer.reply`. I changed it to “Send reply”.
