- user982 6y agoI used an ellipsis for brevity. Explain how that changed the meaning of the quotation into disingenuousness?

- Talanes 6y agoNo it's not. The ellipses in the middle are sufficient to denote that there is a trimmed portion of the quote, especially as this is a threaded post and you only need to scroll slightly up to see the unmodified original. There's no misapplied meaning created from the cut either, as the final parenthetical unambiguously clarifies that the subjects of the former sentence were part of the group of subjects in the latter sentence.
