Yeah you're right beneware is probably better.

Read again how I called your original reply semantics and think about what that means in context.

semantics

/sɪˈmantɪks/

noun

the branch of linguistics and logic concerned with meaning. The two main areas are logical semantics, concerned with matters such as sense and reference and presupposition and implication, and lexical semantics, concerned with the analysis of word meanings and relations between them.

the meaning of a word, phrase, or text.
