Gestures in the English-speaking world
Has the two-finger salute been replaced by the American one-finger
equivalent? Should I wish to express contempt for a Brit I want to be linguistically correct. -- Cheers, Bev "Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives." -- Carl Sagan |

It's an increasingly useful gesture, especially when it's all you have left! -- Cheers, Bev Just as you cannot explain snow to a summer insect, so also you cannot explain ski resorts to someone who walks uphill willingly. --ErikL |
