Is this a real word? 2 Years, 6 Months ago Karma: 0  
This morning my husband teased me for using the word 'observative'. Said I'd made it up. I'm feeling like I woke up in an alternate universe or something - I know I've used it and heard it used all my life, but I'm having trouble locating it in a dictionary! Help!!!

I’d used it for many years, but my sis doesn’t read books, much.
