nota bene (plural notate bene)

1. (imperative) Take special note; used to add an aside or warning to a text.^[1]

• As with the Latin phrases id est and exempli gratia, nota bene is now more commonly encountered in its abbreviated forms n.b. or N.B.^[1]
• In Latin, notā is the singular present active imperative form of notō (“I mark”, “I note”, “I observe”), whose plural equivalent is notāte; consequently, in English, when addressing an audience of more than one person, the plural form notate bene is occasionally used instead of the singular. This practice is not necessary in English; nota bene is regarded as correct usage irrespective of number by all but the most pedantic language users. The abbreviation n.b. may stand for either.
