It is not a word separator because it is valid for contractions: don’t, won’t, couldn’t, etc.

It might be worth it to add an option to ignore the trailing 's.

You can already tell the spell checker to ignore these:

  "ignoreRegExpList": ["/'s\\b/"]

cspell provides a way to see what has been ignored. If you run: cspell check -c <cspell.json> <file_to_check.ext> it will out put a colorized version of the file.
