PEOPLE: The American Sign Language (ASL) sign for "people"

The sign for "people" is done three or more different ways. 
(Pity the poor unsuspecting ASL student--especially those taking a class from a "my way is the right way" type of instructor).

I personally use forward alternating rotational movement (as if pedaling a bicycle forward).
Many of my friends and associates also use a forward rotational movement.
Some of my friends and associates use a backward rotational movement. 
A few use an up and down alternating movement.
