 Actually, you're being dead-on accurate and correct.  That being said, I still 
hear reference to the context menu/applications key being made frequently as 
"the menu key" because the context part is implied for most sighted users.  
Anyone I know who can see is either a point-and-clicker (more common) or a 
keyboard shortcut user as far as the real menus, or their ribbon replacements, 
go.

Here's another place where some very serious miscommunication could occur 
secondary to specific jargon differences between user communities.
