Which form of language; written, spoken, or body language; would be most effective to convince someone that the world is round?  Explain.

I think you really wouldn’t need written unless you wanted to show that it has been a theory throughout history. I think the most effective would be a combination of  body and spoken language.  You could gesture about the shape and use your hands to show how enthusiastic you are and how insistent you are about it being round. Then of course you can use spoken language to tell people and explain your reasoning. You can’t explain fully that it is round with just gestures because some words and phrases don’t have
gestures to explain them.

I’ll explain more later=)
