sown straight movement

[Adam Frost]

Very common question. ;-) If you follow the current writing rules, it  
is not correct to write (B) because the two arrows in (A) don't  
overlap which is what that arrow means. The best way to think about  
the overlapping arrow is imagining your right hand dipped in black  
paint and left in white. When the black and white mark the same place,  
it would turn to a gray paint. So that gray paint would be the  
overlapping arrow. With the sign for PERSON, the black and white don't  
touch the same place.
