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

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

The glass is nothing without being and with being it is. It can only be half it is a half of a glass. ------------- Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

Depends on what it's filled with. ------------- Crushed like a rose in the riverflow. |

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

A glass is not defined by what it's made of, but rather by its function. Moreover, I think claiming a glass to be EITHER half full or half empty is bound to be inaccurate, unless you've done a precise measurement of the volume of the glass and the contents (or lack of) therein. Finding the percent "fullness" of the glass can be easily achieved with a pocket calculator after that (target: 50%) ------------- My other avatar is a Porsche It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle if it is lightly greased. -Kehlog Albran |

I think I must be a neutralist because it is both.Probably explains why I can never get the right attitude about life, if there is such a thing anyway. ------------- Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

 . I think it's half-full because the water is present in the glass. Whether the glass is there or not, I wouldn't know that. |
