A number of inaccuracies. The butter knife is placed on the top of the butter plate. Also, she is missing the salad knife and the dessert spoon and fork which are placed at the top of the place setting in a truly formal dinner.
While I respect Ms Johanson for having the gumption to record these videos, her credentials are rather lacking. Simply attending a boarding school is not sufficient for her to be qualified to instruct on formal dining etiquette. Moreover, her instructions are often very incorrect. I would recommend watching Nancy Mitchell's etiquette series on monkeysee. She has 20 years experience with diplomatic protocol/etiquette with the US government. Her series is much better and far more accurate.
To be a show off your european influence you can place the soup spoon at 12 oclock at a horizontal position and americans will and might scoff and just say this is how normal affluent europeans do it on a daily basis. Then mention if any of them are european that they should do the same as well.
sorry to tell you but there can be three knifes, four forks,three spoons. On the right you'll find from the plate out) dinner knife, seafood knife, beverage spoon and of course soup spoon. On the left(from the plate, and i might be wrong about the seafood fork placement, but it not common to have one any how)dinner fork, salad fork, sea food fork. at the to of the plate will be another fork and spoon which are you dessert utensils. There will also be a bread plate with a knife. damn son!

Proper placement of the bread knife should be on the bread plate itself.

Sometimes there is a spoon placed at the top of the dish. Is that the dessert spoon?
