"Add to Dictionary" location causes words to get added unintentionally

Reported by tex...@gmail.com, Nov 19 2016

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_11_6) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/54.0.2840.98 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Type a misspelled word in a box 
2. Right click word
3. If word is common mistake, there will be suggestions in the first option. If the word is an uncommon mistake, "Add to dictionary" will be the first option. As a course of habit, this first option gets clicked a lot. So these two opposite concepts are in the same place and I end up clicking "Add to Dictionary" for a lot of words on accident. And there's no "Undo."

What is the expected behavior?
I have one of three suggestions:

- Move "Add to dictionary" further down, and make "Ignore Spelling" or something less drastic the first option. 
- Always have a suggested word to replace a mispelling so that "Add to Dictionary" is never the first option.
- Add an option to "Unlearn Spelling" which is already being referenced a few places on this forum.
- 

What went wrong?
I accidentally click "Add to Dictionary" all the time.

Did this work before? No 

Chrome version: 54.0.2840.98  Channel: stable
OS Version: OS X 10.11.6
Flash Version: Shockwave Flash 23.0 r0

There are similar concepts referenced here, but they are not the same issue:

For reference when I accidently click this I usually end up at https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/chrome/YxCxWQXYqJI to fix it.
