How can I get Dragon Naturally Speaking v11 Home Edition to not close programs whenever I say the word "close"?

When I narrate with Dragon, I sometimes pause after saying the word "close" and *BOOM* My browser closes and wipes out whatever I was working on. It's incredibly frustrating. It's not like "close" is a rarely used word. Is there a way to disable that functionality entirely? I don't need Dragon to close my browser EVER, and I really hate it when it does it without even asking me if I'm sure. BTW, Dragon won't do it if I don't pause after saying "close" - but telling me to talk faster isn't a very good solution. I speak slowly most of the time.

    Hmm, this is probably because you have not did much training. I did alot of training the first day and do it once a week, I love it. The only thing is the training and sometimes I talk slow and still understands me. Just do some more training and it should fix it.
