   syn: to observe; notice; heed; regard; note; say.

   usage: remark, observe, notice. to observe is to keep
          or hold a thing distinctly before the mind. to remark
          is simply to mark or take note of whatever may come
          up. to notice implies still less continuity of
          attention. when we turn from these mental states to
          the expression of them in language, we find the same
          distinction. an observation is properly the result of
          somewhat prolonged thought; a remark is usually
          suggested by some passing occurence; a notice is in
          most cases something cursory and short. this
          distinction is not always maintained as to remark and
          observe, which are often used interchangeably.
          "observing men may form many judgments by the rules of
          similitude and proportion." --i. watts. "he can not
          distinguish difficult and noble speculations from
          trifling and vulgar remarks." --collier. "the thing to
          be regarded, in taking notice of a child's
          miscarriage, is what root it springs from." --locke.
