getting his dues

This one was spotted in comicbook.com, in the article “New Star Trek Show Finally Completes The Redemption Of The Next Generation’s Most Hated Character”. https://comicbook.com/tv-shows/news/new-star-trek-clip-finally-completes-the-redemption-of-the-next-generations-most-hated-character/
Second paragraph:

“…our greatest officers… who went on to become legendary.” Finally, Wil Wheaton’s Wesley is getting his dues, and while it may seem like empty fan service, there’s a good discussion to be had around his inclusion…

The conflation is subtle, but a conflation nonetheless. You “pay your dues” (fulfill one’s obligations) and you “get your due” (receive what you rightly deserve – in this case, recognition). A silly “s” makes all the difference. A big thanks to Frank King for sending this one in.
