Sorry, dear. Think how I feel, hearing this crap all the time. I have a storehouse of non-English, non-language horrors that I hear every day. Aside from the usual and incredibly annoying from a waiter or waitress (remember the attempt to introduce "waitron"?), "Are you done?"

Inanimate things, tasks, are done; cakes are done when they have spent the allotted time in the oven and have risen according to plan. People finish things such as lunch or baking cakes.

I feel so much better now after this rant.
