I've just had my package (mgcv) bounced because of 3 notes. One of these

Possibly mis-spelled words in DESCRIPTION:
AIC (5:47, 8:75)
GAM (5:14)
GAMMs (7:20)
GAMs (7:14)
GCV (5:43, 8:57)
REML (5:51, 8:62)
UBRE (8:70)
smoothers (9:59)
However if I run
R CMD check mgcv_1.8-18.tar.gz --as-cran
using the same rdevel version apparently used in the test then no problem is
reported. Does anyone know how I can turn on the spell check?
If you have aspell, you can set the environment variable
_R_CHECK_CRAN_INCOMING_USE_ASPELL_
to TRUE. (This should be documented in "R Internals" along with the
other incoming check variables, but appears to have been overlooked.)
And how do I request that `smoothers' be allowed as a valid word (even
if acronyms are to be banned)?
Acronyms aren't banned, those are false positives (as is "smoothers").
To get words added, you would normally suggest they be added to
share/dictionaries/en_stats.txt in the R sources, but I see "smoothers"
is already there, and has been since 2012. Not sure why it showed up in
your check.
