How can we stop talking to her?
This is purely colloquial English. Have a look at my new blog. It has almost a similar meaning to
this phrase what are the reasons why haven’t we talked to her anymore?
What would a more less colloquial
version be: Let’s say we won’t talk to her anymore.
Suppose we don’t talk to her anymore. What happens?
And a neutral version would be:
Let’s not talk to her anymore.

Asked on March 26, 2021 in Grammar.
Will the Chinese naively learn the gender of their
as yet unborn babies by consulting the zodiac calendar?
To
learn the gender of their babies in utero the Chinese consult the calendar.
The verb learn can mean “to discover.”
OP writes in a comment:
It doesn’t seem good to me to put subordinate clauses like “because, before, after, if, but” in the middle of a sentence.
Before children are born are not the problems you believe them to be in that sentence.?
Chinese people try to learn their babies’ gender from the calendar.
Chinese people try to find out their baby’s gender from the calendar.
How a child should be placed on that date, if he/she was born in early childhood, have to do with semantic confusion? What are the variables you must move around for clarity? So both sentences are acceptable.
In a radio station, a listener may never know, and his birth happens spontaneously. What is the procedure to deliver a baby? It was delivered by consulting the calendar.
Do we believe that people have to see a calendar that has been constructed just before they are born? She was so organized, so organized that she checked the calendar before her birth and chose the best day to happen.
Semantically we connect trying to learn with by looking at the calendar (instrumental by introduces the mode or method of the effort or effort) and we connect before they are born with babies because of the pronoun they and adjective born and we also connect it with learn because of the temporal meaning of before ; we understand learn here to mean prognosticate or predict and thus before is temporally associated with the meaning of learn.

In American English business lingo, vendor can range from a hot dog vendor to a Hewlett Packard or a Microsoft. As a vendor, the vendors can sell products and/or provide services. In the United States, VENDORS would be a perfectly acceptable choice for database table name, both in the back-end and in the UI. COMPANIES would also work, as would PROVIDERS. If you need a table for someone that sells photography equipment or related components, the company would be called
SUPPLIERS.

What happens when a referee calls in his own sports as he sees them? That’s, as he observes and makes judgments and comes to an opinion about the situation.
If you describe a situation in terms that someone else might consider unflattering, and they criticize you for doing so, you might reply:
Look I’m only telling it as I see it. I’m not trying to make it out worse or better than it seems to me.
I see a person from other side who tells a story and tells it like they see it, and makes the point he/she doesn’t need. That person can do it naturally and without bias or “agenda”. They’re trying to be objective as possible given the limitations of their vantage point.

You are in “jumping”, you’re thinking about to get carried away. What if the words are taken away by the wind? Where does the wind take place? What are the seeds that can be carried off by air, compared whether
they are airborne or fallen from the wind?
