A few words of wisdom!!
No English dictionary has been able  to adequately explain the difference
between  these two words. In a  recent linguistic competition held in London
and  attended by,  supposedly, the best in the world, Samdar Balgobin, a
Guyanese man,  was the clear winner with a standing ovation which  lasted over
5  minutes.
The final  question was: How do you explain the difference between COMPLETE
 and  FINISHED in a way that is easy to understand? Some people say  there
is NO difference between COMPLETE and FINISHED.
Here is his astute answer:
"When you marry the right woman, you are  COMPLETE.  When you marry the
wrong woman, you are FINISHED and when  the right  one catches you with the
wrong one, you are COMPLETELY  FINISHED!!
