That one at least makes some sense: halfway to seven vs seven and a half. The more confusing ones are quarter seven (6:15) and three quarter seven (6:45). If you didn’t learn to tell time with an analog clock it can throw you off since they are the opposite of eg quarter to seven. It’s even worse - in German it’s a regional thing, and they’ll look at you as of you’ve grown a second head if you use a form they’re not used to.
