I'm sure there's something impolitical (as well as inaccurate) about 
"right-click" and I believe I've seen a politically correct and accurate 
term.  "offset" "other" "third finger" ?  With 4 or 5 button mouses, 
you've got "thumb button", "pinky (? fourth) button and "middle 
button".  It's a worry.
