Častá chyba:
Learners sometimes confuse "openness" with "opening." "Openness to" is used for ideas or change (e.g. "openness to change"), while "opening" usually refers to a physical hole or a chance (e.g. "an opening in the wall", "a job opening"). Also, use the preposition "to" with this sense, not "for" (say "openness to suggestions," not *"openness for suggestions").
