In the US we use very boring terms like "nine thirty" for 9:30 where Brits say "half past nine" which sound much more civilized.
What do you say for something like 9:23? do you say "twenty three past nine" or do you round up and just say "half past"?
Would 9:40 be "two thirds past nine"?
What about "quarter til ..." or expression for before the hour?
