Description

The MSP address reject file has 404 addresses with a missing apostrophe in the road name. E.g.:
1080 WALKER S HOOK RD, SALT SPRING ISLAND, BC
3602 STELLAR S JAY DR, TERRACE, BC

The faults assigned by the geocoder are:
[UNRECOGNIZED.notAllowed:33, STREET_NAME.spelledWrong:2]

In all cases, the geocoder is able to standardize to the correct address.

When the lone S is removed from the address, the geocoder removes the UNRECOGNIZED penalty.

Since the S is actually part of the address, could the Geocoder not consider it UNRECOGNIZED and simply keep the spelledWrong fault (as it does when there is no apostrophe and no lone S)?
