ELIDED vs. ELLIPTED

I was taught that "elided" = omission of a vowel (I'll) and that "ellipted" = omission of some words (a book written by = a book that was written by....). Was I taught correctly? Thank you for your guidance.

You are absolutely correct... but I still have to check the dictionary every time, so don't be surprised if you see them used otherwise.
