How can we improve our languages?

Dutch language contains words like 's avonds and 's ochtends, these are now very hard to type, allow 's to be a word

Most easy fix is to add a simple option : add word spelled without prediction in order to save any other customised character combinations people would like

        Very good suggestion! Add the option to learn SwiftKey a certain custom combination of characters, and add these words to the Dutch (Netherlands and Belgium):

        't
        'k
        's
        'm
        'ns
        'n

        This happens with a couple of other common abbreviations in Dutch as well. It is quite customary to use:

        'm instead of hem
        't instead of het
        'n instead of een
        'ns instead of eens
        's instead of des

        Swiftkey actually does very well on things like z'n, zo'n and m'n. You just type zn, zon or mn and it suggests the correct word. Same for pleural forms like opa's and oma's. It would be great if Swiftkey would add the following suggestions:

        't as soon as you type a t
        'm as soon as you type a m

        and so on.
