Yesterday and Day before yesterday

Hello Jonathan and everyone -

I think you are correct that your writing of the sign for YESTERDAY is more accurate and a good way to write it, Jonathan. Attached is one other solution that I have seen before, and I also like this…it too is more abstract in some ways, but it can be read… Thank you for this interesting discussion ….

I can't say I am entirely happy with my own writing, but it seems that it is readable. I use the diagonal up arrow because it seems to work better in reading the sign, and the direction of the movement is in between an upward movement and a backward movement.
