At the moment, if you double-click on a word with an apostrophe, all the text before and after the apostrophe is selected. In English, this is usually what you want - eg to select the whole of "don't", "we'll", "I'll" etc. However, in French, you usually want only the bit after the apostrophe, because the bit before is the French for "the" or "of" - eg if you double-tap on "l'alpaga" (or "d'alpaga") to look it up in the dictionary, you want to select just "alpaga", as you won't get any results with a dictionary search for "l'alpaga". It would be great to have an option on the double-tap select to chop off from the front of the word, any apostrophe and preceding characters.
How do you even select text? it just turns pages on click or drag
