Hello, I am checking a package of mine, and I got only 1 note regarding possibly misspelled words in the DESCRIPTION. The issue I am facing is that those 6 words are not actually misspelled, being either first or last names of individuals (actually, statistician; e.g., Kruskall, Brainerd). Shall I have to do something (removing those; which does not make sense), or upon submitting my new version of the package there is a way to make clear that that note can be ignored? By the way, those names were already there in earlier versions of the package and no note cropped out in those occasions.

[R-pkg-devel] note about mispelled words
5 messages · Gianmarco Alberti, Henrik Bengtsson, Duncan Murdoch +2 more
You can single quote them to avoid them being spell checked, e.g. ... using methods of 'Kruskall' and 'Brainerd'. This is a common and accepted practice. This is hinted at in "Writing R Extensions" (e.g. help.start()); The mandatory ?Description? field should give a comprehensive description of what the package does. One can use several (complete) sentences, but only one paragraph. It should be intelligible to all the intended readership (e.g. for a CRAN package to all CRAN users). It is good practice not to start with the package name, ?This package? or similar. As with the ?Title? field, double quotes should be used for quotations (including titles of books and articles), and single quotes for non-English usage, including names of other packages and external software. This field should also be used for explaining the package name if necessary. URLs should be enclosed in angle brackets, e.g. ?<https://www.r-project.org>?: see also Specifying URLs. /Henrik On Tue, Mar 17, 2020 at 8:30 AM Gianmarco Alberti

I believe it is also acceptable to explain in your submission message that the misspelled words are all proper names. As far as I know, misspellings are not enough of a problem to cause an automatic rejection, so a human being will be making a judgment about the note. Duncan Murdoch

However, notice that if it is the guy from the Kruskal-Wallis test (William K., 1919--2005), the "Kruskall" is in fact misspelt. It might be someone else, of course... -pd

Interesting. 'Kruskal Wallis' gets 5.68M google hits, 'Kruskall
Wallis' gets 432K ...
Within CRAN packages, sos::findFn("kruskal") gets 408 hits,
=sos::findFn("kruskall") gets 15 hits. (Some of those may be like the
use of 'euclidian' in stats::dist() to intentionally match misspellings
... ?)
