The implied words
What's in a word? As you can see, just about everything. So keep a dictionary handy?and a thesaurus?but most of all keep your ear turned to those nuances that distinguish one synonym from another and widen the range of your connotative vocabulary.
I think "it has" is implicit in "just about everything."
If so, I'd like to know why this is possible.
Thank you in advance for your help.
