What's the difference?
Can any one tell the difference between 'Completed' 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, Sun Sherman, an Indian American, was the clever winner. His final challenge was this:
“When you marry the right woman, you are 'Complete.' If you marry the wrong woman, you are 'Finished.' And, when the right woman catches you with the wrong woman, you are 'Completely Finished.' “
His answer received a five minute standing ovation.
Yup, me again!
