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 learned to use my fork in my left hand and my knife in my right from my French exchange student who was with us for a month or so in 1984. I hadn't done it that way before then, but it made so much sense, that I can't imagine doing it any other way.

Dude. I just found out my mother knows there are two ways to do it. I'm out of the etiquette loop like woah.
