Something that gives away a non-native English-speaker is this weird, German-sounding use of "no?" to end a sentence. Very strange.


What should be the answer to the question:
It's probably not meeting ongoing TfL specs anyway, is it?
Suppose the "no" indicates that the answer is probably "no".
Then, is "no" strange?

I see it often on the internet and in James Bond films.
