title: R Aspell homebrew
body: <p>working on a Macbook pro with OS 10.6.
  I've recently installed the package Aspell with the R package manager and it appears the install went just fine (no install errors). but when I try to use aspell I get the following error,</p>
  
  <pre><code>&gt; aspell("love")
  Error in getSpeller() :
    No word lists can be found for the language "en_US".
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I also tried</p>
  
  <pre><code>&gt; aspell("love", program = "/usr/local/bin/aspell")
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I also installed aspell and hunspell seperately using GitHubs homebrew.  When I did install aspell with homebrew I used</p>
  
  <pre><code>brew install aspell --lang=en_US
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Is there somewhere I search on my mac to double check that the en_US language was installed?  And if I do find that en_US is there, are there any suggestions as to why R is not finding it?</p>
  
  <p>I'm a bit of a newbie when it comes to installation subtleties from sources files.  Any help would be much appreciated.</p>
