So if I should write it like this:<br>
<img src="cid:part1.00010904.07070000@tampabay.rr.com" alt=""><br>
it would be wrong one way and right another? Looks like I would be
saying "peuw" rather than "clown" anyways. lol<br>

<div>Hi Charles -</div>
<div>Thanks for this message!</div>

<div>The word intuitive is used in different ways - no one says
the thumbs match - of course they don't!</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>But it is intuitive for us in other ways - we like placing
the right hand on the right side of the body, because for us, it
goes back to the old stick figure - before we used to write the
arm lines attached to these hand symbols and they still do in
Denmark and sometimes in schools, and since the right arm is on
the right side of the body, it feels best to me anyway, to have
the right hand on the right side of the body...but of course the
details of the thumbs are not perfect - you are absolutely right
- in the long run though, people do read stick figures and when
you take the stick figure away and leave just the hands, you
have the hands on the right side of the face - so we were never
saying that the photo and the symbol match one hundred percent -
they never have since the beginning of the system - but when we
write, there is an intuitive feeling to the writing system
anyway - at least that is what others tell me - I respect your
concern and please go right ahead and write as you wish - we are
just documenting what the symbols represent to us -</div>
