And this applied to other words as well. However I have noticed spell check keeps warning me I'm wrong when I use it as a possessive like:

That is Bobabodes' whiskey, or, That is Tom Joads' 1911.

In both of those cases the names are underlined in red. Am I wrong?

Spell check seems to have issues with proper names as well as punctuation. It could be as much the name causing the red as the apostrophe (or a combination of both?).
