I don't understand. The definition is "concise diction," yet the example includes "relying on the listener to supply the missing words." This seems to me to be the opposite: the complete lack of words. Unless the context is such bravura brachylogy that the ellipsis is obvious, and concise? Can someone please explain it to me? (quizzical emoticon)
