 Dialect writing I am studying a piece of dialect writing where the first letter is missed out as a way of showing the dialect. Is this referred to as an elipse?  |

| Re: Dialect writing No. An ellipsis (plural: ellipses) is a row of three dots used to indicate missing words. What you're thinking of is, quite simply, an "omission". It's usually marked with an apostrophe. |
