I'm debating if there are any useful genre tags that have "additional" in the middle of the phrase?

I've been normalizing genre tags as I run across them. There is a lot of variety I had 300 different versions of "Fix It" genre tags. The hard part is determining what metadata is worth keeping. I think for now I'm going to slowly add stuff as needed. I started with over 60k genre tags and I'm now at 54k tags. If I can get the tags under 50k by normalizing the data I'll be happy.

I think it's better to use "Fix-It," "Golden Core," "Sunshot Compaign," as separate pieces of metadata vs mushing it all together.

I'm now curious to know how other people use calibre to normalize their metadata, only I'm not sure this thread is the place to find out?
