Well, as a native user of that expression in its native language (such as that may be), I'd just like to tell you Germans and Canary Islanders that you're using it wrong. First off, it's singular, not plural. Second, it doesn't really mean, "isn't that right?"

However, y'all (why don't you start using that one? It means, in Southern USA talk, "you guys") definitely need to keep using it however you want to. It's quite endearing, really. I'm serious.

Isn't it?

I had to edit this, because, since it's a complaint (well, not really a complaint. in fact, I'm not complaining at all. it's cute. so, don't quit doing it), I need to be sorta grammatical myself, and substituting "it's" for "its" doesn't get it, isn't it?

Very well said, Sir Reel..

I've often noticed that "isn't it" thingy myself, but never mentioned it.

And you're right - it is kinda cool..

N'est pas?

Anyway, I can't blame any foreigners for being confused by the stupid American contractions. We're just @#%$, y'all know?
