Couple of questions
Hi there,
here are some sentences. Could someone take a look at them and answer the questions?
1) These are some simple rules to form the plural of names. Note that some nouns remain the same in the plural.
2) Please note that the pics for the EnglishForward contest should be sent to Punkybrewster.
Question: is it possible to use "notice" instead of "note"? I've never seen "notice" used that way, but it would make sense, at least in theory in #1.
1) His wife was very crazy, but he was just as crazy, if not more (than)
2) He's crazy, but he'll soon become more (than)
3) She's crazy, but her mother is even more (than)
Question: which of those parts in parentheses do I need to include? Are some optional or necessary?
Thanks!!!

I would say "please note..." is used more in an instructional or advisory context.
I find the "please notice"

I'd stick to "note", not "notice".

..., but he was just as crazy, if not more so.
..., but he'll soon become more so.
..., but her mother is even more so.
Only more so works for me, certainly not anything with than, unless you rework the whole sentence -- which I don't believe you're interested in.
