Please note

NB is an acronym that stands for "Nota Bene," which is Latin for "note well" or "please note." People may use it online and offline when emphasizing a vital point they want others to remember.

For example, you may receive an invite to a party, and near the bottom, it reads, "NB, while we love kids, this is an adult-only gathering." Or, you might read a message or email, "Here's the updated draft for the press release. NB - the time and date are still TBD."

NB is one of several acronyms or abbreviations people may use when textually communicating. Some other examples include:

  • "e.g." - exempli gratia, which is Latin for "for example"
  • "i.e." - id est, which is Latin for "that is"
  • sic - an abbreviation of "spelling incorrect"
