[Sw-l] Rub contact

[Ms. AnnaGrace]

Hi All,

Now that I think about the rubbing component, as a right-hander in
American Sign Language (ASL),
I find myself rubbing a *counter-clockwise* direction in the signs for
COFFEE, WASHING-A-DISH, SORRY, PLEASE, NAUSEA.

I was never conscious of the direction in rubbing until now. I would be
interested in finding out which direction others are doing in ASL.
As a teacher of ASL, I think the direction of rubbing is important. (eg,
how does signing PLEASE in the other direction strike you?)
