Does fill mean full?

ebee
If I fill something does that mean simply getting some substance and putting it into a container i.e a cup of water into an empty sink or does it usually mean filling such sink to the top?

In other words however many (or few) cupsfull are poured in it is filling or is it only a filling action if totally filled at the end of the procedure?

    In the same manner, "Warning - delays until January 2021" does not mean that there will be the same cars queuing at the roadworks for the next year, but it is badly drafted because it could do so.


    Just be careful with people on the autistic spectrum and children because they may take things too literally.


    Remember Epaminondas? ?


     




     

    In a village near me there is a road sign which reads (from top to bottom): "DEAD CHILDREN PLAYING SLOW".


    I think it must have been designed by a yuppy with a degree in art.
