spell checking and apostrophes

[Christopher Barker]

Rob,

I just noticed that Peppy doesn't handle words with apostrophes
correctly. Try:

wouldn't

for instance. I suspect it's because you are breaking on all
non-letters, and thus passing: "wouldn" to enchant, which, of course, is
not a word.

Yep, I've noticed that before but I've been lazy.

The naive approach is to make a special case for English and check for
the presence of at 't' after a single quote, but I don't know enough
about other languages to know if there is an i18n way to fix that? I
mean, some way to determine, based on the current locale or dictionary
language, if there exists a set of non-alphabetic characters that can
be valid in a dictionary word?
