Suggestions for Regex QA check: Verb "click" must be followed by preposition "on"

Question

Hello, 
 Disclaimer: I'm a beginner where Regex is concerned, so apologies if this is a silly question! 
 I'd like to set up a Regex QA check to flag up target segments where I've forgotten to use the preposition "on" after the verb "click". 
 The best I've come up with is to enter Click [^o] in the RegEx target box, with " Report if target matches (target check only) " as the condition. But obviously this is case sensitive and doesn't cover "clicks", "clicking", "clicked". 
 Does anyone have any suggestions for a more "comprehensive" rule that would save me entering all the different variants (click, Click, CLICK, clicking, Clicking, CLICKING and so on and so on...!)? 
 Thanks, 
 Hayley

 Maybe use this to find the click variants in any case: 
 (?i)click[^\s]+

Rather than using the more complex [^\s], which can be written as \S (i.e. not a whitespace), it would be less confusing to write \w* 
 click\w*\son The QA Checker - Regular Expressions provides an "Ignore Case" checkbox.
