| Apr 17, 2017 at 17:19 | comment | added | WRX | Thank you -- I could find definitions for 'understood', but the word 'subject' was always included. As I understood it (way back in the 50s), it wasn't only the subject that could be 'understood'. I thought an ellipsis was literally those three little dots... So, I could have said, "Who is your favourite footballer and who is your favourite cricketer?" The part in bold type is an ellipsis, which means it is understood but left unspoken. | |
