1. Properly
Unlike Americans we are trained how to put the knife into the right hand and the fork into the left - then using both cut up the food and consume it.

Yet again, the complete superiority of the English is proved. :evilgrin:

2. Untrained, but not untrainable
So as to not be mistaken for a spy or barbarian I found I needed to learn to eat without the silverware shuffle -it is possible, and admittedly preferable. The white sneakers and baseball cap have been ditched as well, but I still insist that zebra can legitimately be pronounced “zeebra” and not “zehbra.”

I unlearned what I had learned from PBS. :cry:

13. When I was I child that was my preferred style
It wasn't until I met a person from London that I saw someone else doing the same.

I'm not sure where I picked it up but it was always a thorn in my mother's side.
