A: "They were of equal talent" means "They had equal talent." In my opinion, one shouldn't write "They were equal talent." When one can and when one can't use "[to be] of," or when one is better to use some other preposition (and where), is a bit tricky. For example, in my opinion one shouldn't say "they were equal height"; one should say "they were of equal height" or "they were equal in height." Ditto for "weight" -- and one can say "They were equal _in_ talent" (or weight or height). One can find some instances of the "were equal [noun]" pattern on the Internet, but if one uses a site:.edu restriction, or just in general, the relative number and quality of the texts returned favors using one of the structures with a preposition.

If the "to be of" pattern is difficult, one way to avoid it is to turn the noun into an adjective, and the adjective "equal" into an adverb: "They were equally talented" is fine, as is "they were equally heavy" or "equally tall."

A: Pulling out all the stops is to mean to do everything that is possible.

The opponent team will be pulling out all the stops to try and score a goal.

A: You can use author to talk about things that aren't written.
(example: i am the author of my own life)

Mostly they are interchangeable (you can use either), so don't worry too much!

The difference is a writer is someone who writes a piece of literary work (a book, an essay, an article). An author is a person who originates an idea or a creation.
If you are writing a story someone else has told you, you are the writer and they are the author.

A: 똑같애요. They’re pretty much the same. Sometimes one sounds more natural than the other. Slight correction for the sentences: “The writer described the situation to be/as A disaster”.

However, sometimes they can change the meaning slightly. For example:

I know her to be a good person vs I know her as a good person mean exactly the same thing. But, the second sentence using “as” feels more personal. Like you’ve personally experienced her good personality. It’s a slight connotation.

Does that make sense at all?

A: “Writer” is like a job description.
“Author” is the person who wrote something. It’s often used to mean someone who has written a published book.

例文
A: “What do you do for a living?
B: “I’m a writer.”

“The author of this book is very famous.”

A: I honestly use them interchangeably, but an author is typically known for writing books. A writer can write anything from magazine articles to instruction manuals. Writer is a more general term.

A: They're often interchangeable but the biggest difference is that an author's works are published.

A: writing a letter to someone is supposed to be personal, so you should know whether they are Mr./Ms./Mrs., otherwise the letter sounds very impersonal and generic.

If you are writing a generic company letter or a letter to provide information in general, then "to whom it may concern" would be fine.

If you're writing a casual letter, maybe to a penpal, you'd write "dear [first name]", but if you're writing a more formal letter, maybe with a business proposition, you want to use their last name. if you are unsure of their gender, and there is no way for you to find it out, you can always write "Dear Mr. or Ms. [last name]".

A: Writers of the Web and WOW sounds cool in this case. You can use it I think. :)

A: Clemens saved his four-year-old child.
Clemens's child is four years old.

In the first sentence "four-year-old" is being used like an adjective, so the words have hyphens (-) and the word "year" does not have an 's'.
