Unofficial Etiquette Pollage

After hearing a discussion on the radio about table manners and cultural/national ways of eating, I got curious and decided to ask you guys about it. According to the program, there is more than one way people in Western countries use a knife while eating. I did not know this, which shows just how much I don't know about culture.

So anyway, a poll:

I was told that not switching (my way) was the British way. I always figured it was due to my bizarre ambidextrousness. Or maybe the fact that my parents are first generation (though, I've can't remember which way they eat).

I am and have always been a bit of a freak...

Freakishness is in the eye of the beholder. I've been writing 'colour' and 'harbour' and such since I was around twelve, because I think it's prettier. ;)
