    never

    Sorry, I’m confused. Weren’t we talking about human language here, or are you using “never” figuratively?

    (The quotation marks here are referring to acual quotation of the word you used, not a standard feature of the way the word is normally written or an indicator of some alternate meaning. I’m spelling this out because just in case you’re unaware of that usage of quotation marks, which frequently occurs in the context of quoting someone. Unless you’re literally asserting that the word “slept” is never quoted, “never” is a strong word to use.)
