Yes. The variables a, b, c, and z must have a stated correlation. Variable names do not implicitly have any relation between them. Ellipses work for numbers because a series of 1, 2, 3 ... 100 can be inferred using the rules of mathematics. A series of a, b, c ... z cannot; the series can only be inferred using the rules of the English language.

so is the word "simplify". I guess we'll never know what they mean by that because if you pretend you don't speak English, then there's no way of knowing!

Right. Well, yeah, I guess your pedantic response is a lot more logical than the intended answer that other people have pointed out. Have a nice day!
