It's pronounced 'haf'
Re: 95% Will Pronounce This Number Wrongly.. by flokii: 7:57am On Jul 17, 2016
I would simply say 'half' cos. it fits well in any sentence..

1/2 of 4 = 2, half of four equals two, not 'one over two' or 'one-half'

Night watchers, una weldone o



Night gathers, and now my watch begins. It shall not
end until my death. I shall take no wife, hold nolands,
father no children. I shall wear no crowns and win no
glory. I shall live and die at my post. I am the sword in
the darkness.
I am the watcher on the walls. I am the fire
that burns against the cold, the light that brings the
dawn, the horn that wakes the sleepers, the shield that
guards the realms of men. I pledge my life and honor to
the Night’s Watch, for this night and all the nights to
come.”

It is not one and a half... it is 'half' or 'one over two'.
By saying one and a half, u are referring to 1.5 whereas this is just 0.5

It's actually pronounced one half (without the hyphen)
Or
One and a half

@ VictorRomanov, Obinoscopy well done!

To learn more about fractions go to https://english.stackexchange.com%2Fquestions%2F72614%2Fwhy-does-one-half-have-no-hyphen-but-two-thirds-does&why=i_list&service_id=803478443041409
Sorry, was carried away. One half means 1/2 but one and a half means 1 and one half (1/2)
