"Do what works for you, there is no 'right' answer."... I strongly disagree. The 'right' answer is - dots on the thumb, regardless of which hand is used. When the bug was developed, it was clear that the index finger was much more capable of sending continuing dashes than the thumb was - thence the design. As it was pointed out, there are left-handed bugs for the southpaw crowd, with dots on the thumb.
I have had to make a few beginners re-learn to send with a paddle and keyer when, without any guidance, they got things the wrong way around when they started. Think of the everyday things you do with your index finger, and try them with your thumb instead. Case closed. OK, so I'm an old stick-in-the-mud - but I'm right :-) Ask any old-timer.
