Discussion and review:
You can add the PERSON-(agent) sign to "SERVICE" to mean "waiter."

The sign "every-AFTERNOON" is similar to the sign "afternoon" except that the dominant hand makes a horizontal (sideways) sweep."

GO-WITH (accompany). Use the sign WITH, but move it forward at an angle to your right (or left) toward your "destination."
SELF-[think-self, myself, yourself, himself, themselves]. The sign "self" can be modified to indicate various pronouns or to tell someone to "Think for yourself." ("It is up to you.")  See the "ACCOMPANY" entry on the "WITH advanced discussion" page.

Signing Note:
The sign CAR tends to use an “S” handshape.
The sign WHICH tends to use an “A” handshape.

Signing Note:
The sign EASY is generally done with a double movement.
The sign ALMOST is done with a single movement. The sign THAN is both hands palm down.

Signing note: TAKE-up is used for “taking a class, adopt, or evaporate.” TAKE-from is used to mean acquire from someone else.

Topic:  National Association of the Deaf

Cultural Note: In sign language we don't use the term "Dr." as in "Dr. Vicars" as much as in English. We tend to just use the person's name sign and are much less concerned with "Titles."
