Hi all, I had a quick look through the tools package, but was unable to find the function that checks the DESCRIPTION file. From the look of the functions I did examine, it looks like there will be a call somewhere to a spell checker for DESCRIPTION. As I notice a lot of spelling mistakes in the help files, spell checking is probably not done for most files (or maintainers ignore the notes). Perhaps an argument to turn off spell checking (--nospell) might solve the problem as misspelling of a crucial word would throw an error regardless.
