Thank you all, I really appreciate how fast you have all helped me and I am very grateful for it.
I did not have a space. I wonder why it is rendering like that. I removed the line and wrote it again just in case a weird character had gotten in the way. Now I have done as you have suggested. When I did the R CMD I had no issues locally and I had no more notes or elements being interpreted as fields.
