Right? Right…? right?…right?

Omg…anyone get 😫at how many times, Harry has to say ‘Right?’ after almost every statement he makes?
Meghan does the same too..quelle surprise

Oh that and ‘Unconscious bias’ he bloody loves saying that! Right?

Closely followed by ‘accountability’ 🥱

Meghan did my head in with all her riiiiiiiiiight on the Oprah interview.

"So nobody taught me the words to the national anthem riiiiiiiiiIIiight?"

"So actually it was Kate who made me cry riiiiiiiiiiiiight?"

They get it from Spanish in California because the Spanish tend to end with ‘si’

Bless him!

He's like a little kid who's just learned a big new word and wants to impress everyone. Even if he doesn't actually understand what it means. Riiiiiiiiiiiiight?

I noticed that right? thing too, he does it a lot.
Definitely parroting Meghan.

Thought exactly the same! With an American twang too.

@IcedPurple Yes! 🙈

He said 'rout' rather than 'root' when talking about following his mother's route in the car. He's well and truly morphed into a Cali hipster bellend.

@AuroraCake So just like an acknowledgment ‘Yes?’ at end?

*The end

Yes very irritating. Totally Californian.

Yeah but it kinda means right. You are asking the person to agree with you. They also say entonces a lot…a bit like we say like but it actually means still.

Calling someone a bellend for picking up the accent local to them is very unkind.

I noticed it too. Like he's confirming you agree with him.

Meghan isn’t from California though.. right?

I know right?!

It’s making sure the person agrees with you at the end of every sentence, right? like emphasising this is the right thing to say and seeking confirmation. Also a bit of a leading rhetorical question as otherwise you have to say “no” or “well actually” or “have you thought about X” and if you’re Tom or any other interviewer at that point Harry talks over you and becomes passive aggressive. Right?

Loads of people do this. It's not really a California thing is it?

He's assimilating into his new surroundings and culture, like someone else would if they come to the UK. I know we tend to expect that from others.

Like Londoners say 'innit'

Don't forget reconciliation

Awesome thread , literally the sounds of barrels being scraped, like.....😂

Lol. The parochialism is strong in this one.

I know more than a few British people who moved to the US and quickly picked up American English.

My guess is that the vast majority of posters here would blend in nicely with the natives within six months.

Most of the threads here wrt H&M are scraping the bottom of the barrel. This one is a good example.

@PipinwasAuntieMabelsdog

You do realise that the word route is pronounced rout all over the US, right? (See what I did there?)

... don't forget 'I wouldn't tolerate ...'
