A grammar editor or a spell checker? It is, of course, a valid word. "At batting practice he had several misses swinging at the fastball and always misses the curve." (Both noun and verb.)

...and while I'm doin' the grammar cop thing, "it passed your editor". Past is one of those confusing sounds-like words that is in fact, not the past tense of pass.
