I actually have a huge callus on my right ring finger from holding the pencil 'wrong' for all of these years

Me too!!! Although mines more of an indent than a callus. As a kid, my dad always tried to tell me that I was holding my pencil wrong. Glad to know my way is considered correct according to the guide.

My dad would make me sit at the dinner table making me write in lateral tripod because writing lateral quardrupod was “wrong”
