Tim is right in his desire for the "ideal" of each official using proper signals and terminology. Also, the elimination of non-orthodox habits (some have become orthodox from repeated misuse) would be a refreshing improvement. However, I think he is "banging his head against a wall" in trying to force compliance.
At the meetings, remind the members of the proper mechanics and terminology. Go over a few points that guys should be aware of so they are informed of what's expected. After that, it's up to them how they proceed. If you have been up front with them about the evaluating criteria, they should have no gripes about points taken off. In reality, most will continue with the old habits when they are not being evaluated. Also, isn't it more important what the asignor(s) wants? If you don't meet his requirements then he can just stop giving future games.
