[R] camberra distance?

[Prof Brian Ripley]

You may find it easier to search for `canberra distance', if that is
really what you intend (and your subject line and text differ in spelling
anyway).  See ?dist, and Google results for `cambera distance', which both
shows this a fairly common mispelling of the capital of Australia, and
suggests the correct spelling.

I do think readers of such groups (and this one) expect Google etc to be 
used first.
