IMHO there's no confusion...
misspelled words are related to autocorrection...
correct words are instead related to dictionary... 

as you may see there's a "Add to dictionary" item just before "Always correct
to" this is needed when you wanna add to dictionary a word that the
spellchecker underlines with those squiggly red lines just because it doesn't
see it in the dictionary.

so the workflow is:
- right click on word with red squiggly line
- hit "add to dictionary" if the word is correct
- hit the "always correct to" item if the word is mispelled and accept one of
the autocorrect suggestions
- my request is to have "autocorrect options" just below the last suggestion in
the case none of them is the desired one

the "Always Correct to" item has been called that way since OOo era and user
already know and remember what is supposed to do.

so I don't think this is necessary to rename and have another string change to
annoy the translators
