For example, I’m a white Jewish guy but I’ve adopted the Japanese practice of keeping dedicated house slippers at the front door.

    When you indicate the number 3 with your hand, which fingers do you hold up?

    Thumb, index, middle fingers?

    Middle, ring, pinky (small finger) fingers?

    Index, middle, ring fingers?

    I heard Germans do it one of these ways, English does it another, and Americans does it yet another way. Don’t know if it’s true, but I think I saw that in some movie. Maybe Inglourious Basterds by Quentin Tarantino?

      I swap between 1) index, middle, and ring and 2) thumb, index, and middle because I was raised with 1) but learned to do 2) while learning American Sign Language, as 1) in ASL means the letter W.
