  • There was a throwback to how to hold a pen/pencil in the US going back to even forcing left handed people to use their right hand, to disastrous results. There are many ways to perform the function, many with their own pros and cons, but as someone else mentioned it might have simply been a “started doing it 1 way and was resistant to change”.

    I am curious in what way you hold it which was so different it was seen as needing to be corrected.















  • Not exactly, that is a thing but it would be kind of the opposite of this. Let’s say a company was the first to ever make tortilla chips, and tortilla was the brand name. Then other companies started making something like tortilla chips with a different name, but then the name tortilla became so common that the first company lost its trademark so then everybody could call them tortilla chips.
