COMPLETE vs FINISHED
My friend, whom I call the “The Wizard of Words” sent me this.
I think it’s funny. Enjoy!
COMPLETE vs FINISHED
No dictionary has ever been able to define the difference between
“complete” and “finished”. However, in a linguistic conference, held
in London England, and attended by some of the best linguistics in the
world, Samsundar Balgobin, a Guyanese was the clever winner.His final challenge was this. Some say there is no difference between
“complete” and “finished”. Please explain the difference in a way that
is easy to understand. His response was:When you marry the right woman, you are “complete”. If you marry the
wrong woman, you are “finished”. And, when the right one catches youwith the wrong one, you are “completely finished”.
His answer received a five minute standing ovation.
