Of course, technically, open implies "keep open till closed", and I think that's why "visit" was invented. But the term "open" has evolved. For example, you "open" a website in your browser, and are in fact "visiting" it. There's really little merit ...

Rumsfeld, coyly switching metaphors, referred to them as "lily pads," which is about as convincing a euphemism as "American Ecology."

... underlying structure; this is exemplified by some "special folders" that show up in the GUI, but aren't necessarily actual directories in the file system. In Unix, it is even more the case that, while the folder metaphor is often used in GUIs, it almost never shows up on the command line, API, or system internals. If you have to explain "directory" to people, they must not spend much time on the command line or they'...

.... Now that "creative destruction" is visiting the bankers, we now observe they are not so accepting of their own fate. The destruction of Wall Street's girth and power is unavoidable, in any case.

9/11: The Day America Embraced a Metaphor of War By Rep. Dennis Kucinich, The Nation. Posted September 11, 2008. We should not only remember 9/11. We should remember how the politicization of 9/... whole, so that we can one day become a re-United States. 9/11 is the day the world changed. It is the day America embraced a metaphor of war.
