[R-pkg-devel] Possible mis-spelled words ...
Previous conversation on r-devel: https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-devel/2014-December/070237.html Martin M?chler suggests that a patch to R-devel would be welcome:
I agree that some customization possibility would be great here. Maybe it'll be sufficient to allow a short list of about a dozen words in the DESCRIPTION itself, e.g., with an item Extrawords: rowMedians, rowRanks

I just had a revision of a package built by win-builder, as a way of exposing it to a rigorous check before uploading it to CRAN. The 00check.log contained the note:
Possibly mis-spelled words in DESCRIPTION: Delaunay (4:8, 10:29) Voronoi (4:46, 11:5) triangulations (12:28)
The spellings are, as far as I can tell correct. Is there a way of telling the package checker that these spellings are OK? I have a very vague recollection of having seen something about this topic on this mailing list, but a search of the archives turned up nothing. Nor could I find anything about "mis-spellings" in "Writing R Extensions". I don't like leaving a package in a state in which the package checker produces NOTES. Is there anything that I can do about this one? Other than remove the offending words, which I am reluctant to do. cheers, Rolf Turner
