David Shepherd:
A most common error among cricketers today is to confuse the

balls which impact OUTSIDE OFF stump. Otherwise the shot is
irrelevant.

Whether the ball pitches outside off-stump does not change anything.
It's the point of impact that counts. And of course ball pitching or
impacting outside leg-stump is not out
