Shaking our heads 'Yes'; Shaking our heads 'No sir-eee'.

'More or less', 'Right or wrong', 'In general', and 'Just thinking out loud ' (as usual).

In certain countries, nodding your head up and down means no, and shaking your head from side to side means yes.
On the other hand, profanity gestures are probably more universal.

Yes, even a head shake is not universal. And neither are profanity gestures. A thumbs up is an offensive gesture in some cultures and using the US "OK" symbol is the same as the middle finger in other places.

I do communications and training for a global corporation and we are always very careful of the photographs and images we use in presentations. I have to be careful of pictures, word choices, and colors because of cultural differences.

If you are talking about a universal language, you need to expand the focus to think beyond the United States, North America, or the western world.

I bolded that paragraph. Your points are well taken. Your reply really is universal. Thanks.

Yeppers, so true, in Greece up and down is NO, and side to side is YES. Love different things like that!
