OSs being automatically changed to Oss

When typing in Writer, when I type in OSs as the plural of OS, it gets automatically changed to Oss. I went through every dictionary in my install, all the grammar things, checked autocorrect options for it and looked at autotext and autocorrect to see if it was in there somewhere.

I can’t find it anywhere in the install, so I don’t know why it would be doing this. I want to either find it and delete it from wherever this thing is hiding, or if it is important or useful for some reason then I will have to figure out some way to use autocorrect or autotext or something to make a way to get OSs in a document.

And yes, I do know that I could use OSes as the plural for OS. I don’t know for sure, would be interested in finding out, but I would guess that OSes is actually the proper plural for OS.

So more than anything, I just want to figure out where LibreOffice is hiding this in Writer, so that when I run into this situation again, I know where to go to get rid of it — I have run into this exact same situation in the past, don’t remember how I handled getting around it though.

Unless I’m wrong, I’ve always seen OSes as plural for OS. It is in line with grammar rule inserting an “e” to avoid double “s”'es or formation of groups like “xs”.
