[R-SIG-Mac] Issue with spelling in Aquamacs

[johannes rara]

Thanks for the response. I set language to german, and my sessioninfo
is shown below. Setting language to german (in Aquamacs) did not
change this behaviour.

> sessionInfo()
R version 2.9.2 (2009-08-24)
i386-apple-darwin8.11.1

locale:
C

attached base packages:
[1] stats     graphics  grDevices utils     datasets  methods   base
