Spell checker cannot handle contractions #172

Open kalj opened 8 years ago

kalj commented 8 years ago

I notice that the spell checker of pluma doesn't seem to be able to correctly handle contractions using apostrophe, such as the English "doesn't" or "I've". It just separates it into two words which are marked as incorrect. I don't know if this is a bug or a feature, but I think a spell checker which incorrectly marks words (or parts of words) is non-functional.

I concur this happens to me too. Note that it also happens in Gedit and I think it's an issue with the enchant implementation (based on what I've read)
