How to stop OSX from issuing warning for sudo command in terminal?

I have just updated to OSX Yosemite and every time I execute a sudo command, the OS issues this warning before the password prompt:

WARNING: Improper use of the sudo command could lead to data loss
or the deletion of important system files. Please double-check your
typing when using sudo.

How can this warning be silenced?

To remove the warning, open the sudoers file:

sudo visudo

Add this line (to keep it tidy, just after the other Defaults):

Defaults:al !lecture

I've tried to set it to just "once" (Defaults lecture = once) but that seemed to be ignored.
