Right

The word 'right' has now got a whole new connotation. Previously, it meant 'correct' or just the direction apart from the huge paras listed in dictionaries. Now, this word is more increasingly used to convert statements into questions. A full fledged statement, suffixed with 'right' is being increasingly believed and portrayed as a question asked. People have started using that to such an effect that there is no awareness on 'isn’t it' type clauses.

The source from which they pick up these should be someone with a decent command over the language who must have used it to camouflage the blunder. This, with frequent usage should have made life easy for people who have picked up these things to put a question to others.....
