Devon. British English. Apr 10, 2014. #2. " It is worth mention that he is also a very experienced writer." is a correct but somewhat outdated way of saying this. "It is worth mentioning that he is also a very experienced writer." is the much more common form of this sentence. Last edited: Apr 10, 2014.

In "it is [= it's] worth," "worth" is a predicate adjective. "Worth" can also be a noun, a reasonably close synonym to "worth." We can ask, "What is his value?"
The basic sense is as Glasguensis says. So in general it means 'I offer you this opinion/piece of information and you will determine its worth and respond according to the value you attach to it' ; it may EITHER suggests a modest uncertainty on the part of the speaker about the value of what they're offering OR the speaker's feeling that what they have to say won't be considered by their ...

Indiana, U.S. English - U.S. Feb 5, 2021. #4. Interesting, because I'm more familiar with the first example -- "It is worthy of note that" -- whereas the second sentence just doesn't sound right. For example, it sounds natural for me to write: "It is worthy of note that the Indiana University football team came within a touchdown of national ...
