User blog comment:Brainwasher5/The strange obsession of using "Note the", "Note that", and variations in this wikia/@comment-1142365-20121023143234

First off thanks for bringing this up.

Note that" sets out immediately that either a NOTable fact or unexpected fact is going to come up. I see your point with the loquaciousness but "note that" leads readers into expecting something important or unexpected.
