Question 3

Is "leave off" formal or informal?

Accepted Answer

"leave off" is register-neutral — appropriate in both casual and formal contexts. The sense of 'stopping' is often informal and used without an object ('where did we leave off?'). The omission sense is separable and used with an object. British English also uses 'leave off' informally to mean 'stop it!'.
