Natural language is rarely sensical. It's use is idiomatic, and
forcefully changing established usage is not only patronizing, but
also not very fruitful. The "Académie Française" might disagree.
There is no educational value in a menu item hidden in a Help submenu
anyways when people don't find the list of key bindings that they are
looking for
