I've always been a "one, three" kinda guy, but think I might like the whole number option better. So as I've been reading this thread this morning, I've been trying it. Seems to me saying "White thirteen" followed by signaling 1-3 would be a good method. It separates the one part verbal communication from the visual hand communication. It also seems to alleviate a lot of the concerns here - you say "Thirteen", and if there is any confusion at all on the scorer's part, he can then confirm with your hand signals. If you're signaling and saying "thirteen" at the same time, I could see a challenge in processing both seemingly different signals.
Then again, maybe we're all just over-thinking this.
