Depends on what's in it.

If it's Stella then it's half empty if it's Chinese medicinal soup then it's most definitely half full!!!

If you are in the process of filling it, then it is half-full.

If you are in the process of emptying it, then it is half-empty.
 
We workied this out at college the other day...

It is half full because...

full = 100%
empty = 0%

half of empty (0%) is still empty but half of full is 50%, sooo half empty is not possible and it must be half full!

Let's turn that around (coz I'm in a cheeky mood):

How much empty space is there in a glass containing the maximum amount of liquid it can hold? 0%

How much empty space is there in a glass containing nothing? 100%

Therefore it's half empty.
