Mumble argument again!

"I work 9 while 5"
or
"I work 9 till 5"

Never heard anyone say 'while'

i work 9 while 5
makes no sense at all unless your 5 and working 9 hours at school , it still makes little sense at best though....

"i work from 9 until 5"
 
how is it "to"
its makes no sense

i work from 9 to 5.... its UNTIL use the dictionary , "to" is probably some american who didnt properly understand the english accent and got it wrong
 
while? Never anyone say 9 while 5 in my life. It's saying it's 9 o'clock while being 5 o'clock. What type of construct is this? Has some bypassed the laws of time again?

9 TO 5. I think you may of misheard people.

Really? Works for places

We're going from "birmingham to manchester"

We're going from "9 to 5"

"While"?!

Thats up there with the misuse of "of" in place of "have" and "brought" instead of "bought".

Hanging should be "brought" back IMO.Or indeed buy it back,it doesnt really matter.
 
one of you 9 while 5 people want to explain how it makes any sense?
maybe if you were working 9:25 - 9:25 and didnt know how to read a clock properly ? :P
