Great to see the transcriptions. I liked Wayne's for the second sign (his first, as he didn't include the nod/blink), though perhaps Stephan's may have been technically more accurate. It was hard to tell where one sign stopped and the next began, and the hand was sort of in the "in-between" position--between the way Wayne and I wrote it and the way Stephan wrote it. I liked the look of the sign with just the shoulder mark, rather than the overhead view I used. For the third (Waynes 2nd), I liked Stephan's a lot, though I might have used a straight arrow for the angle instead of the curved. Again, these are hard distinctions to draw, at least for me. Both Wayne and Stephan saw the third with fingers together, and that seems better to me than mine too. I found the two arrows on Waynes confusing, and mine had no arm movement indicated at all, whereas in the video, there was, I think. What fun! It's wonderful to get such feedback.
