Maybe you could explain what "ambiguous concepts or concepts difficult to explain" are. With fall wardrobe chat, I can't think of ambiguous subject manner. Did she gesture differently with pitch? I liked the way you set up this blog. It is interesting to study ways of gesturing depending on what "kind of" person it is.
