--- Comment #3 from Rob Schroeder <rs at rsems.dev> ---
I'm aware of the difficulty in distinguishing apostrophes at the end of a word
from (single-quote) end quotes, which is why I included the case only as a
remark, while the subject of this bug report is apostrophes *inside* a word or
phrase, without an adjacent space or other delimiter character. An apostrophe
character inside a word can and should, by default, always be interpreted as an
apostrophe, not an end quote. Which is what the English implementation is
already doing correctly - if only as long as default single quote
autocorrection is used. 

(And once we had the notion of an 'apostrophe' vs. a 'quote', it would offer
some options for at least recognizing some apostrophes at the end of words. A
criterion, for example, could be the absence of any (single-quote) start-quote
character before the apostrophe character in the document or paragraph.)
