  -> Thank you, Eileen.
agree  Sandy Carpenter: This is a good alternative and is in keeping with the register of the source text. I'm not sure I agree with the need to avoid using the term "focus" here though as it is used frequently in similar contexts in English.

  -> Hey Sandy. Thanks for the generous "agree." It is an interesting question. Yes, you will find abundant references - and yet, it somehow sounds "off" to me. :)
