[Linux-kernel-mentees] [PATCH RFC] checkpatch: fix TYPO_SPELLING check for words with apostrophe

[Dwaipayan Ray]

checkpatch reports a false warning for some words containing an
apostrophe.

A false positive is "doesn't". Occurrence of the word causes
checkpatch to emit the following warning:

"WARNING: 'doesn'' may be misspelled - perhaps 'doesn't'?"

Check if any word character is present after the word boundary
in such cases. If present, it means a subpart of the word has
been matched and a warning should not be emitted.

Looks good to me; I am wondering if it is useful to point out to
rewrite this to "does not" because commit messages are "formal
content", and not so much spoken language.

Yes, that's right. But I guess we could give the authors some freedom
to choose their language style. Personally for me this kind of WARNING
would be annoying. I think a CHECK might be possible, but don't know
if we would be over restricting authors then.

Thanks,
Dwaipayan.
