I find it so distancing when an American character uses "yeah?" as a tag question

...is this not normal?

Re: 135

[boombangbing.livejournal.com]

Seconded. I feel like I may have made some huge mistakes now. :/

Re: 135

[allyndra.livejournal.com]

Oh, I don't want you to think that! It's not WRONG, it's just one of those things that rings bells in my head.

As I said in another comment, I see lines like, "You're coming over to mine, yeah?" in the mouth of an American character and mentally rewrite it as, "You're coming over to my house, right?" Because "right?" and "huh" and even "you know?" are much more common tag questions among Americans. (as a vast generalization)

I pay a lot of attention to the language differences between US and British English, though, so I'm probably overly sensitive to it in fic.

Re: 135

[instrumentality.livejournal.com]

I think it'd probably be 'huh' rather than 'yeah'. That's what I've been told is the American version of 'eh' (I'm Canadian, so this is all second-hand to me), which we use the way the British tend to use 'yeah'.

Re: 135

[bodyline.livejournal.com]

Again, I think that this is a purely regional thing. Where I live, any one of those three would be acceptable and all three are used quite frequently.

Re: 135

[instrumentality.livejournal.com]

Yeah, good call. Fic tends to flatten out regions and ascribe the same slang to very large areas, so I was generalizing pretty widely, but I'm sure it's different depending on where you go.

Re: 135

[allyndra.livejournal.com]

It's not common among Americans the way British TV leads me to believe is is common in the UK. I see lines like, "You're coming over to mine, yeah?" in the mouth of an American character and mentally rewrite it as, "You're coming over to my house, right?"

I'm not saying that no American would ever use the first phrasing, but I think the second would be much more common. And when I do see th "yeah?" tag questions, I check the author's profile, and not one of them has ever been American. /anecdotal, inaccurate measurement

Re: 135

[windbell.livejournal.com]

Agreed. I'm also very language-conscious and I have never heard or seen an American tack the word "yeah" a sentence onto a sentence the way Brits or Aussies do.
