Title:
  Text editor fails to identify apostrophe in the contraction

Status in GNOME Text Editor:
  Unknown
Status in gnome-text-editor package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  The Gnome Text Editor cannot discern an apostrophe in the contraction.

  Example:

  "You love to look at rounded corners, yet corners aren't the only part
  that's rounded. Rounded off like the empty twitter posts you write,
  about how pissed it makes you feel. Yet you wouldn't dare use ink when
  you are paying for internet."

  the text editor will by default, highlight `aren't` and `wouldn't`, even though they are correctly spelt.
  If these punctuation marks are not included, it will attempt to recommend a change:

  As an Example:

  "You wouldnt do that, would you?"

  It would suggest to change `wouldnt` to `wouldn't`, which is
  reasonable:

  "You wouldn't do that, would you?"

  But then, as mentioned before, keep the underline and recommend to
  change `wouldn't` to a completely different word. Instead, I would
  expect the underline to disappear, instead of it continuing to
  recommend other unrelated words.

  Package version:

  gnome-text-editor:
    Installed: 48.2-1
    Candidate: 48.2-1
    Version table:
