The English language

Post by OsoTommyDragon »

Can anyone tell the difference between "Complete" and "Finished"?
No dictionary has ever been able to define the difference between 'Complete' and 'Finished.'
However, in a linguistic conference, held in London England, 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 person, you are 'Complete.' If you marry the wrong person, you are 'Finished.' And , when the right person catches you with the wrong person, you are 'Completely Finished.'
