It's fine if you omit 'his'. Since 'he' is the subject of the sentence, and he leaves his wife,there's no need for the subject of the gerund 'leaving'.

He always makes excuses for leaving his wife.

For me, the editor always underlines the misspelled words with a wavy red line.

Doesn't that happen when you type your post?

CalifJimFor me, the editor always underlines the misspelled words with a wavy red line.
Really? I see no wavy red line when I misspell something. How can I fix that?

No, it doesn't. Maybe it's something to do with the settings?

Right-click on the "misspelled" text, choose "Languages" and English in the menu that opens. That's how it happens on my computer anyway. I have Windows 7. I do have multiple spell checkers installed, though, so I'm not sure if it works the same way for you.
