Re: [sw-l] USA... Sign for ENGLISH






I think there is a spelling error here though, Valerie. I suspect the 
variation being discussed is where the right hand (dominant hand) 
touches the back of the left hand (non-dominant hand) twice with 
somewhat of a grasping or touch motion. I haven't seen a variation of 
English where both hands actually move up and down while being grasped.

See my previous email for suggestions on these ....

Thanks,

Stuart
