--- Comment #2 from Nick Levinson <Nick_Levinson at yahoo.com> ---
I didn't see an extension when I searched all categories for genitive,
possessive, apostrophe, uncommon, rare, or law and medicine got only a Finnish
dictionary and grammar checker.

But I'm not clear if an extension could be designed to interact with another to
produce a result not listed in either one, or to interact with a default or
default-loadable dictionary. So, the preloaded English dictionaries would need
modification to handle the straight/curved apostrophe and, if that's not done
by adding entries (like shoe, shoe's, shoes', and curved equivalents) the part
of LO or Writer that applies dictionaries might need a patch to interpret a
dictionary for this functionality (like shoe[apostrophe-code]s and
shoes[apostrophe-code] in the dictionary, perhaps where embedded are some
Unicoode 4-byte characters not used in a natural language).

Making an easier way for loading dictionaries and dictionary features would be
good for nongeeks but I suspect will be objected to as redundant of the
existing method for loading all kinds of extensions. Nongeeks won't think of
French as an extension, so a button in the F7 Spelling dialog would increase
LO's usefulness to nongeeks.
