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 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 you
with the wrong one, you are "completely finished".
His answer received a five minute standing ovation.
