Kip Williams <kiptw@xxxxxxxxxxx> caused electrons to dance and
photons to travel coherently in saying:

That's unnecessarily pedantic. What should I have said? "...but about a
colloquially understood hand sign within the confines of the continental
United States, as of the present time, leaving out subcultures who are
out of the mainstream, the deaf who have their own manual language, and
those who do not have hands, fingers, or arms, or may be visually
impaired so as not to be able to see the signals, unless someone
describes them to them -- in a language they understand, of course."

Works for me.
