Screenshot illustrating the problem

Problem description: 
Spell & Grammar check doesn't seem to understand the possessive apostrophe, and
continually flags these up as errors - see screenshot.

Steps to reproduce:
1. ....
2. ....
3. ....

Current behavior:
Flags up words containing a possessive apostrophe

Expected behavior:
Don't

For example: LibreOffice's anything should not come up as an error...

The only way around this I could find is to add to the dictionary, which is bad
as the dictionary is being filled up with words that should not need to be
there.
