I don't think any way is necessarily wrong unless you're actually putting the people with whom you're eating off their food!
At a guess, the tines down/convex fork business is so that you can deposit the food delicately in your mouth without having to open wide enough to get the whole thing in - thus showing the remains of your previous forkful - or lift your elbow higher than your ear. I would generally use my fork in this way, but I must say it makes peas particularly tricky.
At the risk of appearing foolish (no change there, then), does anyone else here still use both a spoon (right hand) and fork (left) for puddings?
