[R-pkg-devel] note about mispelled words

[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.
