Would you prefer watching your toenails grow?

You can see the grass in Alberta now?
Currently -16° in the old home town with sunrise arriving at 11:30 AM and departing at 2:55PM. But it's a dry snow... |

Did I say that? Isn't the snow covering the grass with 10cm?

Is the snow 4 inches thick or is the grass 4 inches long?

Does it make a difference if I say the glass is half empty?

Wouldn't you prefer the glass to be half full?

Wouldn't it be better to have the glass all full?

Isn't "half full" the same thing as "half-empty"?

Doesn't that depend on whether you are optimistic (half-full) or pessimistic (half-empty)?

Still, don't they essentially mean the same thing, in that a half-empty glass is also half-full?

How would you prove that half-full and half-empty are two ways of representing the state state?
