Ok..just the usual language barrier, even though we all use the same dictionary. I noticed that right before you end a conversation, or even begin one..the majority of you ladies use the word "right" Now help me out here, over here when we use that word to start a convo, or end one, its done with a tone of sarcasm and a look of either fear or bewilderment on our faces. Eg: North American person 1 - Hey..I just pee'd my pants! North American person 2 - Right...(walks away slowly, not breaking eye contact). So I guess what I am saying, is it's easy to take it the wrong way when I read some threads or status'.

we do use it in that context here too

however we also use it when we are just getting straight to the point

asin, 'right, now lets do this' or 'right, this is how it is'

almost like right = *this was actually my point* kind of context?



any sense made? lol

x

Right....

Lmao Jen

I use right as ok listen so would be - right come here please or right come on let's go

I use it maily as a listen up word

pmsl

lol I say it all the time



Jen you need to come and live here and then you could really learn proper English

I think I use 'so' more than right

I read back what Ive written and think whhoooaaaa Ive started 4 sentences with So there....I cant help it

Yes Lisa, I also do that and "so"

LOL! "so" is something we usually use to change the topic of conversation.

i use right all the time without realising it like
right im gonig to do the washing up or right come on callum etc

Bloody foreigners...

LOL! I have been working very hard on learning not just using the proper form of the English language, but also working on how to brew a good "cuppa", as well as develop the stomach for such foods as - haggis, bangers, and toads. I draw the line at kidneys and any other organs the process bodily waste!

No fried rectums for you then

Yes..even this heathen can distinguish between a deep fried mars bar..and a goat's corn hole, no matter how much batter its coated in!

Lol, you have a point Jen.

My brother lives in LA and his wife is American. We have a huge language barrier and she has no idea what im on about half the time when I am talking to her on Skype of FB.
