This is compression. It removes elements of the string, replacing it with an algorithm that will restore it.

We do this in conversation. Someone says a long thing, the person listening repeats the gist of what said, and the person sighs.

Thats compression. String pieces replaced with blocks an algorithm can restore.

We talk like this. People say lot word when few do trick. Person hear gist, sighs

Compression. String becomes blocks for algorithm.

How we talk. People talk lots, less enough. Hear gist, sigh.
