Here's your English lesson for the day!
"Complete" or "Finished"?
No dictionary has ever been able to satisfactorily
define the difference between "complete" and "finished."
However, during a recent linguistic conference, held
in London, England, and attended by some of the best
linguists in the world.
Samsundar Balgobin, a Guyanese linguist, was the presenter
when he was asked to make that very distinction.
The question put to him by a colleague in the erudite 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."
Mr. Balgobin's 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...
