My late great-grandmother was a staunch believer that it was. "Don't point Immortalfire, it is rude!" was her mantra.
But even as a kid, I never could understand why it was supposedly rude.
Said great grandma came up in conversation recently, and I asked my dad "She was always like it was rude to point, but why exactly?"....he had no answer.
Some reading suggests that it goes back to olden times when pointing was a sign that you were placing a hex on someone. Weird.
What y'all think?
