Replace jarring use of "Remark" with "Note"
or with nothing at all, to improve readability for native English speakers. Editors may wish to remove such constructions altogether in future revisions, per general style guidance such as: - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:%22Note_that%22_is_unnecessary - https://english.stackexchange.com/a/238142/7318 - http://blog.apastyle.org/apastyle/2015/09/principles-of-writing-how-to-avoid-wordiness.html
