[R-pkg-devel] note about mispelled words

[Henrik Bengtsson]

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.
