Hi,
Could any native right my ideas?
1. He has an eye for beauty / a good idea. ----[for] = that eye as beauty regards;
2. I have no ear for English. -----[for] = that ear as English regards;
3. Don't mess with him. He believes in an eye for an eye. ----[for] = in an eye in exchange for an eye; means if he lose an eye for another, he must want the eye of another person in exchange.
Thank you very much in advance.

Yes, that's the point: your words do not make sense to us:
'that eye as beauty regards'
'I say yes to it connected with you'
'that eye as beauty regards'
'I say yes to it connected with you'

That is why I interpreted [for] as [as regards].
Please tell me the right meaning of it.
Thank you very much.
