hehe, so if there was beer in the glass, it'd be half full and if it was cat piss (or something nasty) then it'd be half empty?
i think i see where you're coming from
Although i wasn't being too serious about it, basically it was just a whimsical thought. I don't know about filling up the pitcher again...
i thought there was a common idea that if a theortical glass had half (exactly) its volume of some liquid, using logic and maths, derived from the subjective english language, you could show that it is illogical to say the glass is half empty. it doens't make sense.
i think the one safe answer though, is to say
the glass is half occupied . I guess this is the one true and objective response.
