  1. I tend to find older Aussies use the "half past" etc and more and younger will say four thirty, four 45 etc. Myself, I am used to a 24 hour clock after working in travel and with airlines etc for years. Old habit. Cheese is orange in America because of the use of colouring like annato.

  2. The orange processed cheddar cheese is what you see on burgers in America sometimes or grated on nachos etc. It's orange because of the annato food colouring. I know my grandmothers generation says half past a lot. Or quarter to. I usually say say something 30 or something 15 or 45 etc. Probably because I worked for years in travel and dealing with airlines etc. We always used proper terms and a 24 hour clock. Even on my phone I have it set to 24 hours. Old habits. Also, I agree re no worries. I know quite a few Americans and they all use the term regularly 🤷‍♀️. Maybe 20 years ago it's wasn't as common there but I feel like it's spread there in more recent years.
