>> I live in Boston, where I think talking with your hands isn't particularly popular...

What made you come to that conclusion, or are you spending all your time amongst a very particular subset of the Boston population?

Hmm I don't know it might be wrong. But a few people from different circles commented on my hand gestures, one said I have very expressive hand gestures, the other said I "talk like an Italian". None of this is bad of course, they were not pejorative remarks, but it made me think my hand gestures are probably too expressive for sn average American? I don't know. Who knows maybe these comments were biased too, or maybe my hand gestures are too extreme even for my own culture. Anyway, all I know is, "talking with your hands" is definitely an integral component of how I speak.
