Subject: [PATCH] fix(word-count): treat apostrophes as part of a word

WORD_COUNT_REGEX didn't include the apostrophe character, so
contractions like "can't" were split into two matches ("can" and "t")
and counted as two words instead of one.

Add ' alongside the existing hyphen in the word-character class, so
contractions and possessives ("can't", "Sarah's") count as a single
word, consistent with how hyphenated words are already handled.

Fixes #324
