Contextual Commands

Final Draft, the screenwriting software I use, has a contextual menu that lets you tell it how to address words that it thinks might be misspelled, much like Word and other word processors do. Two of the options are "Ignore Word" and "Learn Word." These would be convenient commands to have in Edward's contextual menu.

Scenario #1

Jeff stubs his toe.
Jeff: "Shit!"
Edward turns to look, interested.
Edward's Contextual Menu >> "Ignore Word."

Scenario #2

Edward crawls toward the dog bowls and puts his hand in the dog-water.
Jeff: "Edward, no. Those are for Abby."
Jeff moves Edward away from the dog bowls.
Edward crawls back to the dog bowls and puts his hand in the dog-water.
Jeff: "Edward, no."
Edward's Contextual Menu >> "Learn Word."

Kids come with contextual menus these days? When was that implemented?!

It's the Contrarian Contextual Menu, in that it defies the parent's wishes unless the parent is employing reverse psychology.
