It's a valid 'word' just not one that it's not recognized by my current dictionary.
A feature to add specific word/combo structures might be useful though.

Aah - the contraction "institute's", you could add it to a user dictionary?
You could also do this
- show all words,
- filter on 's - watch out straight apostrophe v a closing single quote
- sort on 'Misspelled' column
- select all misspelt words
- copy to clipboard
- paste into a text editor
- winnow the chaff
- save winnowed list to clipboard
- import clipboard into user dictionary
After you've done that on a few books the number of misspelt
's words should dwindle to few-and-far between.
My 'alarm' bells rang when I saw the "institutes's". I know the NYC and CMS et al, say
...s's is OK, but they didn't have Miss Pritchard rapping their knuckles with her ruler, or have their ears cauliflowered by Mr Kneller's blackboard duster
