1 it won't function correctly: In this phrase, "right" is being used to express the sense of "working correctly" or "working properly". Note: in proper written English, the phrase should be written "it won't function correctly" or "it won't work the right way". An adverb is preferable in place of "right", but remember that Polly is using a computer without an "e" key!
1 it won't function in one direction: In a different context, "right" can express direction, but this is not the case here.
1 it won't function presently: The expression "right now" expresses the same sense as "currently" or "at the present time", but this expression is not present here.
1 it won't function immediately: The expression "right away" expresses the same sense as "immediately" or "very soon", but this expression is not present here.
2 Currently, I'm typing on this thing: The expression "right now" expresses the sense of the "present moment". Polly is typing on this "thing" at the "present moment".
2 Actually, I'm typing on this thing: Be careful! In English, "actually" is synonymous with "in fact" or "in reality". The term is unrelated to the time at which an action occurs.
2 I'm typing on this thing properly: In a different context, "right" can express the sense of something being "correct" or "proper", but this is not the case here.
2 I'm typing on this thing immediately: The expression "right away" expresses the same sense as "immediately" or "very soon", but this expression is not present here.
3 Call my "talk box" immediately: Polly is instructing Bob to call her "right away". The expression "right away" is synonymous with "immediately" or "very soon".
3 Call my "talk box" currently: Do not confuse the expression "right away" with the idiom "right now", which expresses a similar meaning to the adverb "currently" and the phrase "at the present time".
3 Call my "talk box" correctly: In a different context, "right" can express the sense of something being "correct" or "proper", but this is not the case here.
3 Call my "talk box", okay?: In a different context, "right?" can be used to ask whether something is "acceptable" or "correct", but this is only the case in interrogative constructions! Because there is no question mark here, we know that this is not the best choice here.
