process'->process's

Later versions of the U.S. Government Publishing Office Style Manual suggest the s is dropped.

Apostrophes and possessives

8.3. The possessive case of a singular or plural noun not ending in s is formed by adding an apostrophe and s. The possessive case of a singular or plural noun ending in s or with an s sound is formed by adding an apostrophe only.

Apostrophes and possessives

8.3. All singular nouns form their possessive case by the addition of an apostrophe and an s. Plural nouns ending in s form their plurals by adding only an apostrophe.

boss’s, bosses’

Perhaps it's time we drop such fixes, especially those that are wrong any way (files'->file's could be plural):

$ grep -R "s'->" codespell_lib/data/
codespell_lib/data/dictionary.txt:aircrafts'->aircraft's
codespell_lib/data/dictionary.txt:gaus'->Gauss'
codespell_lib/data/dictionary.txt:guas'->Gauss'
codespell_lib/data/dictionary.txt:guass'->Gauss'
codespell_lib/data/dictionary.txt:packges'->packages'
codespell_lib/data/dictionary.txt:thats'->that's
codespell_lib/data/dictionary_code.txt:files'->file's
codespell_lib/data/dictionary_code.txt:process'->process's
codespell_lib/data/dictionary_code.txt:subprocess'->subprocess's

I agree, plus this correction produces unnecessary warnings:
SBIEMSG.js:13: process' ==> process's
Line 13 of SBIEMSG.js:
{ id: 'process', name: tr('Name affected process'), type: 'edit', hint: 'Program.exe when applicable' },

Meanwhile, I'm using --ignore-words-list="process'" as workaround.
