I have the punctuation setting in JFW 11 set to speak some, and JFW pronounces contractions correctily and doesn't speak the apostrophe. It speaks the apostrophe in a contraction in speak all punctuation mode only. To adjust your punctuation setting in JFW: press insert plus j, then wak enter on options, wak enter on voices, then enter on voice settings, tab down to context and make sure the voice option you wish to speak some is elected by arrowing down, then tab down to punctuation and select some punctuation.
