I'm quite surprised by this, for me the "Insert" menu is a verb. Must like "Edit", "View", and even \
"Attach" in kmail. Not that *all* menubar items are verbs, of course (File, Settings, etc. are not).

Still, "Insert" is certainly a verb in english, this menu is about "To insert", not about "an insert" \
(!?). I can't see where a confusion could come from, given that insert is always a verb in English (in \
programs at least).
