Maybe I should've wrote that at half 10 rather than 20 past 1 but anyway to my point:

There's like 3 main time frames in an hour, quarter past, half past and quarter to. Like right now if someone was to ask the time I'd say "quarter to 11" and 15 minutes ago I'd say "half (past) 10". I never knew America didn't do this.
I'm not sure I understand. We say half past and quarter of. I don't always necessarily but it's not uncommon for someone to say the time like that. Although, I have never heard half 10. I do hear half past and quarter of frequently though o_O

Half 5 and half past 5 is the same time, alot of people just miss out the "past" as it's uneccessary. Never heard someone say quarter of though.

I learned that obtaining Pokemon in HGSS is an extremely painful task due to a modified catch rate system which screws up catching pokemon completely

Half 12, half past 12, nobody really thinks about it that much so I'm not even sure which one I say more. Speaking if American terminology, I had to explain to some girls today that Jason Bieber wasn't actually telling them to **** off in his Google images pics, that's just the American sign for peace (I think). I only discovered that when I heard they changed the box cover of Left 4 Dead 2 for the UK.

It always did annoy me that Numba 2 from CNKND was flicking us the V's during the credits.
I learned that the peace sign in Somehow Not Pluvia's country means "**** you".... today

You obviously haven't seen Home Alone 2
I have, I just forgot about it. Man, I was lucky to have my mom.

This scares me >____<
Yes, be scared. Be very scared. Trying to get to the lower half of Canal street SUCKS when you get negated with a no turning sign, then with like four streets that are all one way TO THE LEFT.

Scared yet? You should be.

Oh oh and one more thing! There's only like, one gasoline station in new york. Srsly.

In NY yea. My cousin lives in Queens and her neighborhood is nothing like the city, its actually really nice there.

Its not all of NY but the ones most people go to visit is the giant skyscrapers and stuff.
