That is a cup of glass. It is made of glass. It is a cup of glass that has water in it. Dumbass.
In what universe is it a cup of glass and not a glass cup, or more simply, a glass (of water)
A glass of water is an absurd notion. If you tried to make glass out of water you would just evaporate the water. It would never solidify into glass.
You are of course correct; the simple term should be, a glass of 72% silica, 15% soda, 10% lime, and 3% other impurities.
How do you know that it's made of glass? What if it's plastic?
