Hi,

How many spell checking thingies are in place on a run-of-the-mill
installation?

I've forgotten which application it was, now, but the other day I was
having to add ordinary words to the dictionary, as it was flagging up
normal words as being incorrect.

Words like:  don't, won't, can't.  Each time it fouled up at the
apostrophe.

I can understand odd words being unrecognised, but failing those ones
were sheer stupidity.

And, no it wasn't a case of ASCII apostrophe versus fancier UTF
apostrophes.  Not that it should foul up on them, either.  If I type an
apostrophe character, a correct one and not something that looks
vaguely similar but is wrong (like the Brits using grave accents), the
spell checkers should handle that.

Now I want to track down the culprit.
