User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; Win64; x64; rv:106.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/106.0
Steps to reproduce:
I used aren't in text.
Actual results:
The spellchecker didn't recognize the contraction and stopped on 'aren' and asked if I meant 'earn'.
Expected results:
Aren't is recognized as being spelled correctly, and so are the following (which the spellchecker also sees as misspelled - and I wager there could be more):
I’ve
Should’ve
You’ve
Could’ve
They’ve
We’ve
Didn’t
Doesn’t
Can’t
Isn’t
Shouldn’t
Couldn’t
Wouldn’t
Hasn’t
Wasn’t
Weren’t
Also, 21st, 22nd, 23rd, 24th: 22nd will register as misspelled and so will 24th.

Hey Karen, thanks for letting us know. Indeed, the behavior is wrong (and pretty boring, too!):
- only when you use the spellcheck dialog
- only for typographic (curvy) single quotation marks (as in all of your examples).
Inline spellcheck doesn't mark those wrong, which is correct. Spellcheck/dictionaries aren't under direct responsibility of Thunderbird.
