[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Switching hands to eat is also low-class. [/quote] There is nothing more low class than misstating etiquette rules. I went to boarding school in Europe where both dining etiquette and elocution were required. Even there, switching one's fork to the right hand after cutting with the knife in right and fork in left hand was recognized as a matter of preference. Americans tend to prefer to switch and until recently, Europeans did too. There actually used to be a stigma against NOT switching because it was thought rude to put food in one's mouth with the much-maligned left hand. You probably are not aware that there is a strong cultural bias against the left hand and leftness in general in many cultures, including Western cultures. The words sinister and gauche reflect this.
