agree  Sebla Ronayne: beware de denebilir lookout yerine

  -> Beware of the xxx gibi, evet haklısınız. Teşekkür ederim.
disagree  Pelin Yalcin (X): intention daha çok arzu, ulaşılmak istenen amaç şeklinde kullanılır. bu kullanımın pek doğru olduğu söylenemez. eğer "to have bad ..." kalıbını kullanmakta ısrarlıysanız, ... yerine "feelings" veya "thoughts" ifadelerinin daha uygun düşeceği kanısındayım.

agree  Kcda: Beware those bearing ill will towards you for short instead of "watch out for..."
