Peeve: British people saying things like “half nine” when it comes to hours. What is it even supposed to be, half PAST nine or half TO nine? This keeps confusing me each time I hear/see it and I have to check it up so that I don’t come at the wrong hour. Be precise, please!

Past nine.
EDIT: Half Nine is half (past) nine.

You’re British?
Are you swedish because my swedish friend has the same complaint.
“Half nine” is always half past. Always. It’s never anything else in English.

In Sweden, half nine would mean 8.30 as it is halfway to nine.

In Swedish “half nine” (halv nio) is “half TO nine” because it’s halfway from eight to nine.

I’m not, but this way of saying it is still very confusing to me and the English teachers at school always made us specify whether it’s half past or half to when I was younger. Polish doesn’t have an equivalent of saying “half nine” either, the “past” or “to” is always specified.
Omg I’m so sorry, you know that I would never mean to attack you, Akamito! 
So yeah, just a language/culture mismatch thing. Here’s what I have to say to all of you!!!

What about the bloody foreigners coming to live in your country and take your jobs?! I’m sure these are even worse.
It’s the bloody foreigners leaving my country with my job I find even MORE worrying tbqh.

Yeah, my wife. Please Nigel Farage, send her back to her country!!!
Real talk though, the mismatches between English and Italian are hilarious at times. My favourite one being when she says “sensible” but actually means “sensitive” because in Italian that’s what sensible means.
