Read More »The phrases “think on” and “think about” are often used interchangeably, meaning they can both be used in conversation during the same situations. It is up to the speaker to decide which they prefer. Both phrases mean to take time to think about something. This could be a decision, a question, a general idea, or many other things we think about every day. For example, your boss at work might say: “We’d like to offer you a new position at the company. We hope you accept.” Your reply might be something like: “I will need some time to think about it.” Your reply could also be something like: “I will think on it tonight and let you know tomorrow.” Fun fact: a similar phrase used in English is “I will sleep on it” which also means to think on or about something, usually overnight. It is important to note that you would only use sleep on, never sleep about. The phrase “think of” is different from the others because it refers to recalling something from memory. When you “think of” something you are remembering it or being reminded of it. For example, you might say: “I saw someone with a yellow umbrella today and it made me think of you.” In addition to referring to people, someone might also use the phrase in reference to a thing or place. For example, someone might say: “When I see fresh herbs it always make me think of Vietnam.” Fun fact: people will often use this in the past tense as “thought of”. Using the same example as before: “I saw someone with a yellow umbrella today and thought of you.” Cambly lessons are a great way to get an understanding of how these terms differ and can be used in conversation. Since lessons are one-on-one, you can choose to work through a curriculum or simply have interesting free-flowing conversation… a great opportunity to use terms like “think on”, “think about”, and “think of” within the natural flow of a conversation. So remember, “think on” or “think about” is when you’re considering something and taking time to think it through. “Think of” is used when recalling something from memory. Go give them a try on Cambly!

The love-you gesture or I love you hand sign emoji is the American Sign Language gesture for “I love you,” showing a hand with a raised index finger and pinky (little) finger and an extended thumb. It comes in a range of skin tones.
It seems a natural fit for the Unicode consortium (emoji gatekeepers, for the most part) to embrace American Sign Language signals. The love-you gesture or I love you hand sign emoji was approved for Unicode 10.0 in 2017 and added to Emoji 5.0 in 2017. It came about after a petition by two people, one being Western Oregon University professor C.M. Hall. In 2015, Hall said, “The deaf community being one that is incredibly marginalized and pathologized … When we insert gestures (in emoji), we are already communicating visually, so why not include the most recognized gesture in ASL? I see it as such a simple, yet profound benchmark of dignity.” Perhaps, surprisingly to some, the love-you gesture emoji is commonly used in reference to rock music, due to its similarity to its rock’n’roll cousin, the sign of the horns or rock on emoji. The love-you emoji shows the thumb extended, as it is in American Sign Language, while the sign of the horns emoji depicts the thumb tucked into the hand. They’re so similar that the rock star Gene Simmons of the band KISS attempted to trademark this version, the love-you gesture emoji, as his own take on the rock on emoji. He withdrew his application, mostly due to widespread criticism from other musicians. Maybe he also withdrew it when he realized it was the wrong symbol …
