The term "the way in which" is very common in English texts. But usually "in which" sounds unnecessary to me. Is it accepted/proffered to just omit it.

Example:

The different you sense between these two must has something to do with the different ways [in which] they are spotlighted.

Hmm, I was involved in a chat discussion a while back that you might find relevant, starting around here: https://chat.stackexchange.com/transcript/95?m=33631542#33631542 Specifically, the following PDF seems to discuss "way" without "in which": https://semlab5.sbs.sunysb.edu/~rlarson/larson87mps.pdf – herisson Jul 23 '17 at 05:35
@sumelic So do you think the ellipse is OK? – Sasan Jul 23 '17 at 16:56
