Yes, during my teaching carer I too used "Right", but it was more of a call to attention.

Exactly what I did.   However I would have written it as "Right!"

My first-form teacher (Year 7, for the younger element) had a zero tolerance approach to filler words. Any pupil starting an answer with "Er..." was immediately told "NOT err!". We soon got out of the habit.

Sounds like you had a good teacher, you were lucky.

To "err" is human, as the saying goes.

One of our physics masters, although an excellent teacher, was a prolific "err"-er. In one lesson, one of my more inventive classmates drew up a table into which he recorded the number of "errs" per minute and plotted a graph of them against time.

My physics master was a prolific "right"-er. Several times a sentence, on a good day.

 

He got me a good 'A' level in physics, though, as well as securing me an industrial sponsorship through Uni.

Although the name does originate from flying the union flag on a jack staff on the bow of a ship

The bow of a war ship, merchant ships fly the pilot jack ie a white flag with the union flag in the centre.

I want to see flag waving taken to the next level.

Any UK politician that doesn't wear their Union flag underwear on the outside at all times is definitely a traitor who hates this country. ?

Don't give them ideas! Ree-smog is MP for the coal canal, and I really really don't want to see him dressed like that

 

Well, not unless he has to were a red nose as well as his top hat
