Ah but is anything truly empty? There is always something there, so can therefore never be empty.
That's why I said it is interesting.
Today the page decided to open up; a useful link to save, Luke. Thanks.

I was merely commenting on the word. I tend to ask people what nothing is as well and so far no-one has come up with anything except "well...it's, like, nothing, right?'. There are a few of these words and empty happens to be among them so I was just being...(word melts from mind...will go with pedantic instead)...pedantic

So, if someone asks you if the glass is half empty or half full you'll answer, "Yes." Right?

Most certainly. It can't very well be one or the other if it is 'half' anything, it's both.

Or either that or it's a parfait of empty and, e.g., water.

Glad it finally worked for you. I had a friend try and
it opened for her, so I was sort of wondering why it
worked for some and not others. But I never did
get to see what Jackie wrote with the "white out" - never
worked for me. So....

I always have trouble with that one too....

are you optimistic when its half full.. because you 'have' some?
but NO....thats pessimistic.
you should be happy that the glass is half empty!!!!!!!

Or, as the design engineer said, "I kept half my water in a redundant glass."
