The exact reason I'm saying we should just call it seven-thirty (i.e 7:30) is because there is no cultural ambiguity with it.
Basically all native English speakers seem to think half seven is half past seven. Or, at least everyone who voted 8:30 is not a native English speaker! Just a small pattern I noticed.

Still need to give AM or PM accordingly, or is it 19:30?

I think people voted for Half 8 just for the "lolz".
RE: The time 7:30 - TigR - 2015-02-17 22:35
Considering almost all except the UK says it that way, i don't think so lol

No issue there.
Obviously 7:30 is am, and 19:30 is PM. 24 hour clock with no room for misinterpretation.

People here in Finland say 7:30 as "puoli kahdeksan" which is translated as "half eight". I'm quite sure it's like that in every other language other than in English which makes it difficult to understand.

At least in many european languages.
