@calebmon Yes, he literally spoke (aot we, who are literally writing and figuratively speaking).That he literally spoke does not mean that his words must have a literal interpretation.

@cleancoder3838 The trouble with English grammar is that the English don't know the rules of it. "Stays always open" is perfectly within the rules - it's just not conventional. Were it not within the rules, we'd have to throw out half of England's finest literature - including most of its poetry.
