The executives where I work have apparently been trained to use “right” to replace “um” or “uh” when presenting in front of a crowd. (When you start noticing all the "right"s, it’s as annoying as noticing all the "um"s and "uh"s they’re replacing.) I think there’s zero chance a print/online reporter interviewing a CEO would include all the "right"s in Business Week (or whatever). Maybe the 1%-10%ers get special consideration that Average Joe on the street does not. (Shocking.)
