Ellipsis must be applied correctly

Ellipsis is regarded as a figure of speech and used in all writings practically by all writers.

Without ellipsis, English language will be cumbersome as there will be a lot of repetitions of words, phrases and clauses.

Sometimes, we see quite often sentences with the application of ellipses do not sound fluently or do not appear to be idiomatic.

Hailstorm kills 14, thousands homeless. This is a newspaper headline published by a popular national English daily. Grammatically, the headline is elliptical for "Hailstorm kills 14, hailstorm kills thousands homeless".

Hence, it is more appropriate to convert it to be a compound sentence that will be easily understood by everybody: Hailstorm kills 14 and makes thousands homeless.
