      Weird, thumb out is 3 in ASL (a french sign derived language), but thumb in that position reads as a really weird 2 to me

        That actually makes sense to me — ASL retains the “thumb = 1” system present in most of Europe.

        The programmer is using what I’d call an “Anglo” two. It’s what I grew up with in North America.(see the Inglourious Basterds three finger scene for reference)
