I know that this issue has been addressed before, but I was just at dinner
with someone who grows livid hearing the word "done" used to mean
"finished."  I have never found it particularly objectionable, though I
probably would not use it in really formal circumstances. (Still, I
might...)  Anyway, where did the usage come from?  and when did it arise?
