> When using the typographically correct apostrophe (“right single
> quotation mark” U+2019), ispell will mark-up parts of words as typos.
> E.g., in “doesn’t”, the part before the apostrophe will be highlighted
> as a typo even if the spell-checker supports the apostrophe.
>
> This bug occurs irrespective of the spell-checker, so I suppose that
> ispell does its own tokenization and uses the apostrophe as a word
> boundary. Instead, the apostrophe should correctly be treated as
> word-internal punctuation and handed on to the actual spell-checker
> program.
