Re: [Snowball-discuss] Questions about english stemmer & the apostrophe

The assumption in the Porter stemmer is that apostrophe has already been
removed before the word is stemmed, more precisely, that final apostrophe
and apostrophe plus s are taken off. I have thought of including this as
part of the stemmer operation. There is a similar issue for Dutch. See
