A day without laugher is a day wasted.

Why we say:a day wasted instead of wasted day.

Could you please tell me.

TEF, you know that diplomacy never learned that. The full stop was simply a slip.

Thank you for being so nice, is this a correct way to guide someone to his errors.
Actually, I found this forum is highly recommended in our higher education, so it is very sadden to treat learners this way.
I am pretty sure that I am imperfect and can commit mistakes, so I need them to be corrected but as above mentioned just sarcastim.
is it a big deal ?
I won't be again here, thanks for everyone has helped me.

A day without laughter is a day (that has been/is) wasted.

We can also say, " ... wasted day".

There's a saying which comes to mind:

A penny saved is a penny earned.

I am sorry that this has happened- it goes against the normal spirit of the forum. However, forums are public places and not everyone behaves the way you would like all the time, so please reconsider as you would not have made 240 posts if this reply was typical.

If you are going to mock someone's language use, it is advisable to make sure that your post does not contain basic errors. Yours does.

To come back to diplomacy's original question....

The reason for arranging the words in that order is to echo the word order in the first part of the expression, that is: "A day..... is a day........". It makes the expression flow more poetically, and makes it more memorable. You can see the same thing in many such phrases, eg "A hungry man is an angry man", and "A friend in need is a friend indeed".
