Public bug reported:
The Gnome Text Editor cannot discern an apostrophe in the contraction.
Example:
"You love to look at rounded corners, yet corners aren't the only part
that's rounded. Rounded off like the empty twitter posts you write,
about how pissed it makes you feel. Yet you wouldn't dare use ink when
you are paying for internet."
the text editor will by default, highlight `aren't` and `wouldn't`, even though
they are correctly spelt.
If these punctuation marks are not included, it will attempt to recommend a
change:
As an Example:
"You wouldnt do that, would you?"
It would suggest to change `wouldnt` to `wouldn't`, which is reasonable:
"You wouldn't do that, would you?"
But then, as mentioned before, keep the underline and recommend to
change `wouldn't` to a completely different word. Instead, I would
expect the underline to disappear, instead of it continuing to recommend
other unrelated words.
