Hi
the problem with all those words, is that now I have a bigger dictionary, which includes them.
So if you type "dont", it will suggest "dont" as it is already in the dictionary, and not "don't"
So the easiest workaround I see is just to remove these words from the list, as I did for "il". I'll do it in the next version, and if you think about other similar words, I'll remove them too

What morons put "dont" and "youre" in a DICTIONARY?

The laziness of people and the acceptance of it is just nuts these days. Thanks for finding a solution for this lunacy Cyril.

Actually the word list is computed automatically from various sources on the internet (cf http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Wiktionar ... ency_lists), so there may be incorrect words in it, if they occur frequently. I cannot just take the words out of a real dictionary, as I also need a frequency information for each word. But if you know a good word list (including flexions and frequency!) I can use it ;)

Haha
@Cyril: I figured it was just in the dictionary and it would be an easy fix like I'll, but figured I would bring it to attention. If there are more words I will let you know, thanks a lot.

OK, this is fixed in v1.1.0, at least for the words you gave me

Cool, after that update I'll let you know if I run into any others.

(Not trying to be a pain, helping out the app)
