I can’t do it even with years of trying. But as someone with an aversion to strangers touching me, I will glue my damn fingers together* if we can make this a cultural norm.

*Which as I understand is what they had to do for poor Zachary Quinto who couldn’t do it either, at least at first.

Anatomists say so. And I’ve had friends who couldn’t do it. So I’m 99% certain.

The only problem with this is the other half of humanity who cannot produce this gesture may cause an interstellar war.

#1 daughter has been encouraging everyone she knows to do the bow & curtsy greeting. If someone bows, you must curtsy. Doesn’t matter about gender or rank - if they bow at you, you curtsy to them!
It confuses people.

How about good old-fashioned, old-world Namaste? It has worked well for us over centuries. Its short, and doable by both lefties and righties.
