The whole industry is projecting something like negative $200B for next years. They know it's not worth the price.

In the English language, specifically North American dialects, this is a form of idiom.

That’s not an idiom, it’s just an elided word.

Well we can argue over the niceties of the word idiom, but as it's referring to the way the word is pronounced in specific regions of North America, it qualifies as meeting one of the definitions of idiom.

Elision refers more to the absence of an understood word, such as saying 'my bad'.

My bad, elision can also refer to slurring syllables together, so it's both.

An elision is the absence of a sound or syllable in a word. An idiom is an entire phrase or expression that does not mean what it literally says.

There’s no argument here, you’re just wrong.

No, it isn't both.

I dunno, cf. 1.b definition of idiom in the OED: dialect usage, and 2.a is dialect usage for effect. Maybe the definition is changing with the ages, or your usage is overly strict.

I have been using a program called GPT4ALL and you can download many models and run them locally. They give you a prompt at boot if you want to share data or not. I select no and use it offline anyway.

Idiom. Elide. It's really not that confusing. Idioms are about meaning, elision is about sound.

Hm, I guess an encyclopedia article is more relevant than a dictionary definition, so sure. I was using the looser secondary definition... in this case an elision that references a dialect in order to call up regional relevance to the opinion expressed.
