This is inherited from the underlying hunspell library, however. Fix might be best to go through there.

I guess for now the right thing to do is add the contractions to your wordlist.

I think this was fixed in hunspell 2.9? I'm no longer seeing this:

>  spelling::spell_check_text("this package doesn't like contractions like isn't, aren't")
[1] word  found
<0 rows> (or 0-length row.names)

Assuming this is OK now, if it is not fixed, please open a new issue!
