What strikes me about this guy, although I have never met him, is the specific positioning of the fingers on his hand.

Nah, he is not hung up enough on is own bloviating to join them.

He is actually saying, "I love you," in sign language. If he were making the sign of the horned hand is thumb would be invisible as well. The two signs are similar, but very different in meaning. (I know just a little sign language, but that was one of the very first that I acquired.)

Jay, you are right, the thumb would be invisible as well. Shouldn't the "I love you sign" be crossed over the heart to the shoulder?

If it is supposed to be, I am not aware of it. All I was told was that you had the thumb, forefinger, and little finger extended, with the ring and middle fingers folded down. I have heard that the hand is supposed to be turned out from you toward the person that you are expressing your affection to. I am not exactly certain of that being the case. My aunt knows sign language and will be able to tell me exactly (provided I remember to ask her when I see her again).

Please do. I used to live with a roommate who had a deaf ministry. She used to show me some of the sign language techniques in an attempt for me to communicate a little with the deaf in the church I was attending at the time. I may be mistaken, but it seems like this motion was to bring the sign up to the left shoulder across the heart and point to the person you love. That would be hard to show in a picture. It's been 30 years since then though....wheew! Time flies.

I do know that there are sometimes different ways of using sign language. My Mom asked a lady about why she expressed the sign for the phrase 'praise the Lord' one way while another did it another way. She was told that there are different ways, and that sometimes the debate 'proper' way to saying it. It could be the same way with this.

Hugs to you too sister.
