I did answer my own opinion, if you ever read my post you'll notice I hardly read what others say and just post right away

Or... 3/4 full, or 5/6 full.

The way I see it is:

full = 1
empty = 0

1/2 full = 1/2
1/2empty = 0/2

Since 1/2 is the maximum capacity of the glass, the glass is half full.

I liked the Californian wine, and it was cheaper by the gallon.

Now, after reading all these replies, I'm not satisfied with my former answer.

I'd say the glass is half full.

Adding on to what I said before about the fractions, if the glass was full in the first place, a half empty glass would mean a half emptied glass meaning 1/2.

Does that make sense?

Seems like a good idea to me ,1/2 full is half empty aswell,half empty=1/2,0.5,50%,half full=1/2,0.5 and 50% so there.

It's more than half full, since a glass is not normally filled to the rim. Spillage, you know.

Besides, I thought that the "most difficult question known to man" was, " what is the meaning of life, the universe, and everything". That answer has been set by default at "forty two".

If my glass is half empty or half full, my answer is "Damn I need more Beer"

A yes answer could prove fatal given to a woman with PMS.
