apostrophe is not a word separator about cspell HOT 6 CLOSED

It is not a word separator because it is valid for contractions: don't, won't, couldn't, etc.

It might be worth it to add an option to ignore the trailing 's.

You can already tell the spell checker to ignore these:

  "ignoreRegExpList": ["/'s\\b/"]

cspell provides a way to see what has been ignored. If you run:
cspell check -c <cspell.json> <file_to_check.ext> it will out put a colorized version of the file.

ignoreRegExpList can be included at both the root level of the cspell.json file or inside languageSettings:

    "languageSettings": [
        {
            "languageId": "c,cpp",
            // By default the whole text of a file is included for spell checking
            // Adding patterns to the "includeRegExpList" to only include matching patterns
            "includeRegExpList": [
                "CStyleComment",
                "string"
            ],
            // To exclude patterns, add them to "ignoreRegExpList"
            "ignoreRegExpList": [
                "/#include.*/"
            ]
        }
    ]

There is a beta level feature to override settings for matching files:

    "overrides": [
        {
            "filename": "**/*.py",
            "ignoreRegExpList": ["/'s\\b/"]
        }
    ]

After reading the comments I realise that there is no perfect solution for this issue, maybe we should close it after documenting the workaround for disabling the 's in the main readme.

FWIW, I think it would be very useful if cspell had an option to consider /'s\\b/ a word separator, so that it wouldn't ignore the whole word, but would ignore the 's and still spell check the leading part of the word.
