Spellchecker

My spellchecker has lost it. It wants to put   's   for electricals. You cannot see the apostrophe on the image but you can see the space. trying to rid society of the scourge of 's for plurals is a lost cause if spellcheckers are going to recommend that. Then there is the quaint notion of putting electrics instead of electricals. That is so colloquial and odd as a suggestion. Not the first time my spellchecker has let me down but on Word there are always weird grammatical recommendations which suggest a lack of grammatical understand...oh well, post modern has a lot to answer for.
