The linguistic implication of a submenu is "finish the sentence
(action)".

"Open Recent" means "Open Recent [Document] blah.lyx". "Paste Recent"
means "Paste Recent [selection that starts with] blah de blah..."

The verb in this sentence does not refer to the object of the action -
that's what the submenu is. The verb refers to the *action itself*:
namely, Open, or Paste.

Now I'll shut up ...
