I just used this in something I wrote. It’s a phrase that is familiar to me, and I think of it as meaning, in some contexts, mention or perhaps point to. But, enh, I wasn’t quite sure (a WRF influence, perhaps, and if so a positive one), so I decided to look around to see if I could find support for my interpretation. I couldn’t find any. :(

Everything I came across talked about «remembering.» There was often a comparison to «take note.» My question seems to be this: Do you guys agree that if I say something like «This article fails to make note of … something,» the meaning there is «It doesn’t mention it.»?

As

this search return indicates

, it seems like a lot of people are using this expression in the way I’ve described, but I can’t find any support for its use.

I stumbled upon «

make mention of

,» which is listed in the WR dictionary, but that didn’t solve my problem.

Please help end my sadness and confusion. Thanks.

    It sounds a bit strange to me in BE I’m afraid. :(

    I think I’d expect to see: «This article fails to [make] note [of] … something,» or «fails to note that «. = omits to mention it.

    I see your point. The expression could certainly be shortened in that way. But what about something like this:

    Having spent some time in the area, I’d also like to make note of the actions of the Baltic countries. — «What does Putin want?,» LA Times, Aug 25, 2008

    «The article notes…» is used a lot, and I don’t see that «the article makes note of…» would add anything to it. Working from that, «The article fails to note/mention…» seems preferable to, «The article fails to make note of…».

    It isn’t a phrase I remember seeing ever, but it does feel to me like a cross between «take note of» and «make mention of». I find such hybrids a bit annoying when I come across them, unless they are obvious instances of wordplay.

    When something is «of note», it’s very important. «The article fails to make note of…» puzzles me a little: I veer between hearing that «make note of» as 1) «jotting something down on my shopping list (making a a note of it)» and 2) «emphasising or bringing out the importance of»(making much of it).

    If I fail to take note of something, I fail to mention it or point it out. Crystal clear.

    Edit: In the L.A. Times piece I find it a little confusing — doesn’t the writer just want to say «mention» or is it perhaps «emphasise»?

    I’ll make a note of that. ;) (velisarius is my friend, who I enjoy teasing; she knows I’m only joking.)

    I get it gramman—-I might say «to make a note of», but these phrases are (in) flux.

    EDIT: Gosh darnit. Lost out due to a time stamp on being your friend. :(

    Here you go, gramman — from the OED entry for note n.2

    c. to take note : to take notice or pay attention. Freq. with of. Similarly (occas.) to make note .

    […]
    1847 C. Brontë Jane Eyre III. vi. 154 A glance that seemed to take and make note of every point in my shape, face, and dress.

    Edit. Oops, sorry, I’ve just realised that doesn’t support your case:eek:.

    Sorry to barge in, but that seems contrary to gramman’s OP, meaning that it’s not the same context, Loob.

    Yes, I realised that just after I posted, perp:eek:.

    EDIT (Yes in a separate post): «to mention» and «to point out/to» are not synonyms for me, personally.

    Yes, Mr. Rivers isn’t «mentioning» Ms. Eyre’s appearance (if I have my characters straight).

    «to mention» and «to point out/to» are not synonyms for me, personally.

    Yeah, I probably shouldn’t have included that. I was thinking of something like:

    I remain unhappy and confused. But it’s late in my time zone. I will retire and hope that you guys can sort this for me.

    You are demolishing your own argument with that quote gramman. :)

    I agree with the respected high school teacher who posted the comment — I love the quote too, and strangely enough I seem to have heard it very recently — but in the context it obviously means «to emphasise» or «bring out» the difference. That would be my meaning #2. I don’t think it’s a happy use of the phrase though.

    In my OP, I said «It’s a phrase that is familiar to me, and I think of it as meaning, in some contexts, mention or perhaps point to

    >>it obviously means «to emphasise» or «bring out» the difference

    Does it? Couldn’t it mean simply «point to»? I suppose there’s not much of a difference. I dunno. I’m tired and I get confused when yer mean to me like this. ;)
