bowling

I know, I know, most people don't roll the ball using a "palm-down" movement. That isn't the point. The sign is palm down, with double movement.

Bill,

I have seen a variation of the sign for bowling where the left hand's fingers are placed on the right arm's elbow joint while the swinging motion of bowling is simulated. Is this a widely-accepted variation, or a regional one?

Thanks,

Kim

Kim,

A regional one.

In general, signs become more simple over time. As such they will change from using two hands to just using one hand.

Bill,
Thanks for the info. I think I'm finding, too, that signs are depending on the age of the person signing, which makes sense. I like the sign on your site for bowling a LOT better...I'm all for anything made simpler. :D (And also for anything that doesn't make me appear OLDER! Ha, ha).
