Quotations for restrict

Observe or Say? While the dictionaries authorize the common use of these words, it is in better taste to restrict the employment of observe to its primitive signification; namely, to notice. Hence such an expression as, What did you observe? is objectionable, and should be, What did you say? [ Pure English, Hackett And Girvin, 1884 ]
