I've now made ' be a word-constituant character when doing adaptive
scoring.

I'm trying out adaptive word scoring. One thing I've noticed is that
I get high scores for s, t, and m. I suspect that these are coming
from apostrophes. There are at least two options:
1. just remove the apostrophes inatead of using them as a separator.
This will add words like dont and im, but will have the desired
effect.
2. don't add one letter word score. And maybe not two letters words
either. This is probably good even if the above is implemented
