Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

I would never cheat in a relationship...
That would require TWO people finding me attractive.

I really don't know why both isn't an option. It is correct.
Make it to the halfway point and the glass is both.
Is this too difficult to understand?

Half full or half empty of what?
One can say the glass is half full of air and half full of water, after all.

It's two times larger than it should be, of course.

The glass just is. The water and air are irrelevant...

The glass is nothing without being and with being it is. It can only be half it is a half of a glass.

Depends on what it's filled with.

Then, it leads us to an important: what is the glass made of?

If it's been filled halfway, it's half full. If it's been emptied halfway, it's half empty.

Well, in English we sometimes refer to one made of plastic as a glass. That should clarify the question.

I swear I will come through,
With my hands stretching out in the dark,
With my eye pressed up tight to the glass,
Wondering if it's all been true.
