Cutting fabric wrong?

I think I may be cutting wrong and have done so for 20 years. I place my ruler on the main block of fabric, cutting to the right of the ruler the size strip I want.
How do you cut?

Being right handed I have always measured from the left of the fabric, and cut on the right side of the ruler, always pushing the blade away from you. I know that if your left handed you would do the opposite but still pushing away from you.

there are no *hard* rules- we each cut the way we were taught- or have found works best for us- don't worry about it- if it works for you there is nothing 'wrong' with it. I have been known to cut the way you do it, sometimes I do it the other way- it (for me) depends on many things- the fabric, which end I want to cut from, my mood, the size of the strips....any number of things will cause me to cut one fabric with the ruler on the large area and the next one with the *bulk* on the right side and the strip under the ruler- it all just depends- and both ways work. No *right or wrong* involved if you achieve the cuts you are seeking.
