Contractions

Hey everybody,

I'm not sure if this is the right place for this query, but I it seems 
there's a unique difference to how Aspell handles spelling of 
contractions compared to other dictionaries.  The list below is 
something that I put together based on what I found here: 
http://www.englishclub.com/vocabulary/contractions.htm

Open Office and Mozilla applications seem to be using the Myspell 
dictionary on my system.  According to that dictionary, only the 
following three words in the below list are mis-spelled:

daren't
what'll
when's

Aspell seems to have a lot greater trouble with contractions, though. 
The list below has 22 of 59 spelling errors according to Aspell.  There 
are also some bizarre inconsistencies, which is what prompted me to 
check with you guys on this.  As I was working this morning I also 
stumbled upon a typo: The word "Iv'e" shows up as an error according to 
Myspell, but not according to Aspell.

I wasn't able to test these against the Aspell Spell Helper, 
(http://aspell.net/suggest/) as I get an error message whenever I try.

"I was able to come up with the following suggestions for "help" (using 
American spelling with a normal dictionary and the normal suggestion 
mode). Clicking on the word will bring up the words definition in a new 
window

/home/groups/a/as/aspell/install/bin/suggest: error while loading shared 
libraries: libstdc++-libc6.1-2.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No 
such file or directory"

Here's what aspell tells me about its version:

sak@demian:~$ aspell -v
@(#) International Ispell Version 3.1.20 (but really Aspell 0.60.4)

Here's the list:
