deletion

0Hi,02br
02br
00I think a person can delete certain words in a sentence but what is the guidelne in regard to what can be deleted?02br
02br
01i00A new store, near my house, has a lot of customers.02i02br
02br
00Here, a possible full version of the "near my house" can be said to be: "built near my house"02br
02br
00But my question is why is it only logical to have "built" and not some other words -- eventhough I can't think of any now? Is this kind of deletion done often? 0-

I don't quite see your point, because you certainly know that050010id1
