Are there any other ways to spell Taylor?
Taylor is one of the many spellings of "tailor." It originally was the name of an occupation: a MALE who sews clothes for MALES (a female who sewed clothes for females was called a "seamtress," but this didn't become a last name because when a seamstress married back then she always took her husband's name). Tyler is a common spelling of "tailor," too. This reason I am responding to your post is because our family's 7-year-old named Tyler came home from school crying because someone teased her and a girl named Taylor that their names were "just stupid names for a low-class male job." She insisted on looking it up for herself on-line (with help from an adult) and found that it did indeed come from the word for a MAN who sews clothes. We've had to work hard to help her see that the name is neither "stupid" nor "low-class," but she can't get over the fact her parents didn't bother to check out the meaning of the name and gave her a tag for a boy. They just liked the name and knew lots of other people naming their girls that. Tyler is almost ten now and we are holding our breath that for the third year in a row she won't ask for a name change for Christmas. She is going to a new school next year (her dad's job is moving across town) and she wants to be known there by her middle name. You'll be happy to know that her middle name is the same one you like, only spelled "Anne." She's got everyone in the family but her stubborn mother calling her that already. Taylor/Tyler has been a faddish name for about a decade now. Are you picking a name for the fad of the moment or a name for a lifetime? At the very least, if you are stuck on this name, tell her what it means before a mean kid ambushes her with that information on the schoolyard.
Are there any other ways to say "did you know that…"?
So much depends on whether you are implying criticism. “Did you know that…” can introduce anything from a fun fact to a rhetorical body-blow, with a great deal of range in between. For that reason, in print, it can be misunderstood. Even in conversation, with all the proper intonation, it can be misheard. So you will want to create some context, such as “Here’s a little-known fact from the second century BC. Did you know that cursive writing couldnt be invented till we gave up stone tablets for parchment?” (I just made this non-fact up, BTW, so please forget it.) Or, very softly, “The other guests may be reluctant to tell you this, but did you know that your zipper is open?” If the answer is “Yes” you have a different sort of problem at this point. And near the other end of the spectrum “Did you know that absolutely no one thinks you are telling the truth but some of us are willing to overlook it?” So you’ll need to determine just how adversarial you wish to be, and either add to the phrase or pick a less ambiguous alternative from among those that others have suggested.
Is there any other way?..?

Is there any other ways to say "I would truly appreciate it if you could provide us with something"?
Q. Are there other ways to say "I would truly appreciate it if you could provide us with something"?A. “I would truly appreciate it if you could …” has certain grammatical problems as discussed in the addendum below.Using “appreciate” for “being grateful” is not correct.Drop the truly.You don’t have to be so supplicant. Be polite but not obsequious.Replace the I with We.It’s more polite.“We shall be grateful if you can {…}” is the preferred way.Caution: Don’t try to be varietal. Pick one and stick to it. It will become second nature and you will remember it. Save creative writing for non-business purposes.What is wrong with the following 2 sentences, if anything? Is *it* necessary?I would appreciate *it* if you would send me a refund. (1a)I would appreciate if you would send me a refund. (1b)Some writing authorities don't approve the use of "appreciate" in the sense of "being grateful for" at all, but they are in a minority. None of my resources speak directly to your question about the omission of "it," but some of them do object to a clause directly following as the object of "appreciate" (particularly clauses beginning with "how" or "that" — but I think we should add "if"). Garner, for instance, says that "We appreciate how you've worked for the community" should be replaced by "We are grateful for …" When you omit the "it" in your sentences, you're creating the same problem of "appreciate" being followed by a clause; the sentences work better with "it." In a Google search, incidentally, "appreciate it if" outnumbers similar constructions without the "it" by a 3 to 2 margin. Having said all this, however, you're now left with a wordy and gaseous substitute for the more direct and equally polite "Please send me a refund {for ______}."From Garner's Modern American Usage by Bryan Garner.

Are there any other ways of knowing the Book of Mormon is true other than praying if it is true?
That is an epistemological question - how can the truth of anything be “known?”And thus, two answers can be simultaneously true:Yes, you can know it is true by maintaining complete objectivity and scholarly detachment as you study the contents of book itself and the history of its origins, including the stories and testimonies and witnesses of those involved in its coming forth, the many evidences found in stylistic and linguistic analysis, the complex narrative and consistency, and its doctrinal sophistication, and more. Of course, complete objectivity and scholarly detachment are virtually impossible. There are simply too many premises any living human being has already processed, without being aware of them, to enable anyone to be completely objective about such a question.Yes, you can know it’s true by accepting it as true and then living by its teachings and the teachings of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to the degree you can while you await your personal revelation that it’s 100% true and that you should devote yourself to it 100%. But you must realize that your manifestation may never come, because that’s a matter of your heart and faith more than your actions and works.No, you can’t know it’s true any other way, because 1. and 2. above are true. It can be argued that God ordained it to be this way for at least three reasons:God wants each person to make a choice about faith. Faith is required to learn about faith and God and experience the proof that skeptics and sign-seekers never receive.The Holy Spirit, being a divine manifestation by definition, is the most perfect way to know “the truth of all things,”[1] but only those who have experienced it can know that. And it is only given to those who humbly and sincerely seek it, asking in faith.Those who choose not to believe are only judged for what they have chosen not to believe in ignorance. The severity of the condemnation for lack of faith and disbelief would be much, much worse if the evidence for the truth of The Book of Mormon was very much stronger.Footnotes[1] Moroni 10

Are there any other ways in which humans can produce knowledge other than through passive observation or active experiment?
A2A Observation is active: it requires a person to focus on someone or something. If you limit knowledge that is determined by the scientific method, the answer is no. of course, this rules out all metaphysical (usually personal experiences) phenomena. The beauty of science is that it admits ignorance: yes, no, maybe where the maybe category is boundless.What makes a team greater than the sum of its members? Motivation which can be observed but has no corresponding active experiments. What motivates a person or persons does not as of yet have a predictable algorithm. What works for someone does not work for another. Moreover there are algorithms that are undecidable. Do these undecidable algorithms produce knowledge or show the limits of producible knowledge.Any problems requiring an abstraction more that than time space continuum cannot be solved by observation and experimentation. For example future predictions of the stock market.Bottom line: The definition producible knowledge is ill defined. Depending on its scope, your question is undecidable.
