Dr Bill's notes for a cumulative review:
The sign for THINK uses an index finger NOT the whole hand.
The sign for KNOW uses the fingertips.
MORE vs MOST vs "more than"/above
We tend to do a double movement for the sign BOTHER and a single movement for the sign INTERUPT…but it is not an absolute thing. It depends on the context and the speed of signing.
AGAIN vs AGAINST
GAME vs WITH
WORK vs MAKE
WHAT-DO vs auxiliary-DO-(eyebrows)
DEAF vs DORM
WORK vs ROCK
NEED = should, ought to, have to, must …
RUIN vs TEASING, joking, kidding
"not like" uses reversal of orientation for negation
"don't-KNOW" uses reversal
"don't-WANT" uses reversal
WEEKLY / "every week" = "week week."
AWFUL goes up HATE goes toward the hated
BRIGHT tends to be palm forward but doesn't have to be
DRAWER vs "pull out a drawer"
BLOW_DRYER vs crazy
LOOKS/face vs PRETTY
PLAID/Scotland vs "stripes"
SUPPORT/loyal
TICKET vs CHEAT-(version)
SHOCKED/ "brain-freeze"
EXPLAIN vs DECIDE
COOKIES is non-dominant palm up, cut out cookie
struggle vs argue
Cookie vs CAKE (many variations)
DOOR is palm forward the hinge is on your pinkie
ALLOW
LOUD
BEFORE_(now) vs BEFORE_(prior to)
CONFLICT vs ARGUE
next-WEEK vs 2-weeks vs weekly
BREAD vs EXCUSE
mechanic vs start
smart vs for
DEAF vs DORM
20 vs what-DO

WHAT: Actually, you generally don't need the hands to express the concept of "what." Just use your eyebrows and you will be a BETTER signer for it.
