Spell check doesn’t recognize Unicode apostrophes.

The spell checker keeps telling me that words like “doesn” and “isn” are not in the dictionary, but those words are actually “doesn’t” and “isn’t”, with Unicode “smart” apostrophes. (Note, ' vs ’. Both characters fill the same purpose, but the smart version is typographically correct and more desirable)

Cascade Server should recognize that smart apostrophes are the same as dumb apostrophes, and are a part of the words they’re in.

   Hi Justin,

   Thank you for reporting this behavior.

   When you have a moment, I highly recommend posting this as a suggestion on our Idea Exchange for others to vote up and/or comment on. This will help us determine the demand for updating the Spell Checker to correctly handle smart apostrophes.

   Let me know if you need access to the Idea Exchange and I will send over an invitation.

   Please let me know if you have any questions.

   Thanks!
