["Meek, DavidX L" <davidx -dot- l -dot- meek -at- INTEL -dot- COM>]

On a related note, I often see a phrase such as:

... until the task is complete.

My contention is that the phrase should be:

... until the task is completed.

If you subsitute the word *finish,* it wouldn't be correct, whereas
*finished* would.  *Complete* would work, however, if you could substitute
*whole* or *entire.*

There is a debate going on in my office over this; which is correct:

2) Your comments are always welcome.

No flaming necessary.
