SYMPTOMS
In a Word Processing document, spelling errors in singular nouns ending in &quot;s&quot; (such as class, boss, or moss) are not found by the spelling checker if the error is an extra &quot;s&quot; (for example, classs, bosss, mosss). The spelling checker will ignore these words, treating them as if they were correct.

Plural nouns with an extra &quot;s&quot;, such as studentss, and adjectives with an extra &quot;s&quot;, such as thiss, are accurately flagged as incorrect.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Works version 3.0. This problem was corrected in Works for the Macintosh, version 4.0.
