Surely, to be pedantic, like my physics master was when he set this same question for homework many years ago - Empty means there's nothing in the glass. Half empty is even less, which is impossible ...... so one should say "half full" or perhaps at a pinch, "half emptied"

My glass is presently completely empty so I'm off to fill it with G and not too much T.

AAh! Cheers!
