The names of the Options menu items do not use parallel construction. Some
are noun phrases, others are verb phrases. Verb phrases are generally
clearer. Here are some suggested renamings, which are clearer and fit the
pattern used for the other menu items:

Syntax Highlighting -> Highlight Syntactically
                       [or Highlight Syntax]

Active Region Highlighting -> Highlight Active Region

Paren Match Highlighting -> Highlight Matching Paren

Word Wrap in Text Modes -> Wrap Words in Text Modes

Case-Insensitive Search -> Search Case-Insensitively

Completion for Query Replace -> Complete Query-Replace Input

C-x/C-c/C-v cut and paste (CUA) -> Cut, Copy, Paste: C-x, C-c, C-v

Automatic File De/compression -> (De-)Compress Files

Blinking Cursor -> Blink Cursor
