"Complete" or "Finished"?
I have often had difficulty defining the difference between complete and finished. I mother sent me a little E-mail quip.
During a recent linguistic conference, held in London the question was asked to make that very distinction. The question from audience was this: "Some say there is no difference between 'complete' and 'finished.' Please explain the difference in a way that is easy to understand."
The response: "When you marry the right woman, you are 'complete.' If you marry the wrong woman, you are 'finished.' And, if the right one catches you with the wrong one, you are 'completely finished.'"
His answer received a five minute standing ovation.
Thought you might all enjoy this.
