can;t won;t don;t aren't highlighlighted as errors. [closed]
A lot of words with apostrophes in them can be typed with a semi-colon instead, such as those above. They aren't highlighted as errors. Can this be adjusted in the settings for writer?
Can, won and don are legal English words which are followed by punctuation. The spelling checker does not flag single-letter words, considering they are symbols or abbreviations.
Remember the spelling checker works only on the "shape" of words (excluding punctuation). Apart from the fact you have no space around the semi-column, the sequence is accepted by the simple algorithm.
The work around would be to create AutoCorrection entries.
