Re: [R-pkg-devel] note about mispelled words

2020-03-17 Thread Ben Bolker 


  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
... ?)

 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.

 Thank you

2020-03-17 Thread Duncan Murdoch 
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.

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)
