Sorry, I lied...I thought I saw that, but it's not really there. (Been at
the computer too long, I guess :-)
On further reflection, yes, you are correct: Entourage corrects "dont" to
"don't" as soon as I hit the apostrophe following the "t", so the trailing
apostrophe just sits there. I tried adding an entry for:
Change: "don't'" To: "don't"
But auto-correct won't "auto-correct" itself, so to speak.

And this also makes sense, because any word *could* have a trailing
apostrophe, so it's not really an error as far as the spell-checker is
concerned.
