Remember that thread I opened recently, where we talked for ages about the differences between point to and point at? Well, a new can of worms opened when I found another synonym (don't you just love this language?) while trying to write the sentence below.
'Look in there,' he said, gesturing/pointing to/towards the box.
Now I need someone to explain to me the difference between gesture and point as well as the difference between to and towards. And, of course, I need someone to tell me which of those combos is correct here. Isn't this language just adorable?
