[issue43408] about the method: title()

Christian Heimes <lists at cheimes.de> added the comment:

This behavior is documented, https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#str.title

> The algorithm uses a simple language-independent definition of a word as groups of consecutive letters. The definition works in many contexts but it means that apostrophes in contractions and possessives form word boundaries, which may not be the desired result

The documentation also mentions a workaround.
