Webster's dictionary defines "over" as "beyond some quantity, limit, or norm often by a specified amount." Therefore, in order to definitively and with any conviction state that it is over, one must first determine that there was a starting point from which a perceptible amount of progress has been made. The phrase it is over is commonly stated, but it is a misnomer; upon those that state the aforementioned phrase lies a burden of proof to conclusively show that it ever began. In order to embark on a journey, one must have started at a certain location and by use of some sort of locomotion or ambulation proceed from said point to another geographical location. When one considers inertia and the tendency for things at rest to stay at rest and things in motion to tend to stay in motion, in order to move, one would have to first overcome the force of inertia. One should reject the phrase "it's over" and I propose that one seeking to refer to this general sentiment merely states "inertia".
