A while ago I asked why some words that were marked to be added to my
personal dictionary were not added, and were highlighted for correction each
time I ran the spelling checker. I've isolated the cases where this occurs.

  This happens with only collective possession terms; that is, those with
the possessive apostrophe to the right of the terminal 's.'

  For example, the LyX spell checker (perhaps a plug-in?) will accept
"community's" and "communities", but not "communities'" (the latter
referring to a trait found in all communities.)

  Perhaps this can lead to a fix for the next release.

Regards,

Rich
