Straight single quote `'` and closing curly quote `’` are counted as one extra word after any dot punctuation `.?!` #116

I was testing another word count plugin, Novel Word Count and noticed a discrepancy on a long text. Each dialogue offset the count a little. There I could identify a MWE for this:

# These count as 1 word
a."
a.‘
(the last example is a mistake just an opening curly quote, just to illustrate)

# These count as 2 words
a.'
a.’
(those two really happen at the end of a dialogue)
