Discussion:
Dr. Bill's observations regarding the "one finger variation" of STEPFATHER
and STEPMOTHER:
A "two movement/two location" sign is at a disadvantage when competing
with a "one movement/one location" sign since the single movement sign has
"economy" in its favor. The "one finger" sign is a strong variation in some
parts of the country and I think it is actually increasing in
popularity--although I still believe the "second hand" version should remain
the citation version and have top ranking.
