This is embarrassing. Like even for an explanation.

Words literally have definitions; not to be used figuratively when it helps your argument.

I hope this helps.

Yeah, be mad but a "day" can be a time unit and a light cycle. In it's literal meaning. I know that. You know that.

If you doubt it, google "how long is a day on Mars?".

The answer of that question makes it clear that the word "day" have "light cycle" meaning in a literal sense.

And I really hope you aren't arguing that "day" can't literally mean 24 hours.

Figure of Speech

figure of speech or rhetorical figure is a word or phrase that intentionally deviates from straightforward language use or literal meaning to produce a rhetorical or intensified effect (emotionally, aesthetically, intellectually, etc.).

Hope this helps.

Back to poor communication. What do you mean by that?
