    The Hand Wavers.

    The Hand Wavers.


    Why do most TV presenters, reporters and pundits, wave their hands and arms like some overfed bird trying to take off? It’s an affliction that equally infects both sexes. Is it some secret means of communication? If so I understand English like most of us born here so why do they feel the need to emphasize every third word by a downward thrust?

    Anyone here find it annoying?

    I don't find it annoying. Why do they do it? I suppose, to bring some vividness into the picture of their TV speach.
