Not really, because the other half would be un-occupied.

See why this is silly?
ok, i think that wraps it up. I guess it is a little silly. But the fact that empty is now termed unoccupied it clears a lot of things up for me. So it goes back to the same ideas as before :P
However, i don't really think it is natural count the stuff that isn't there?

All in all, the same amount of liquid is in the glass no matter what you term it, so perhaps instead of saying half full or whatever, measure the glass and get the actual ture objective measure. ie a standard cup is 250ml (well for cooking in austrlia) so half a cup is 125 ml, not half empty, half full, half occupied, half unoccupied...and so on

So instead of making a qualitative measurement, measure the actual amount. another life leason
