The optimist sees the glass as half full.

The pessimist sees the glass as half empty.

The Excel user sees the glass as January 2nd.

The glass can be refilled, that's all that matters.

It doesn't pass the logic test.

The point and purpose of a glass is to contain a liquid.
Thus, the state of the glass can only be described as
a fraction of complete fullness.

The only correct way is to say "half full."

Saying "half empty" would imply that the raison d'etre
of a container is to be empty which is nothing short of
nonsensical.

The Exhell user, being a total lackey, sees whatever Microslop
tells him to see.

Nope. An optimist is happy because there is still an half to drink. The
optimist tries to convince himself that an half glass is well enough.
When I don't care because is what's left isn't enough, I refill it.
