In europe only country rubes put the arm on the lap. The american style is a completely No Go outside the US.

she's correct -- switching is important in formal dining -- everyone needs Dinner Etiquette techniques -- you'll never know where you end up dining and this goes handy - esp when with really good company... It's really embarrassing to look too embarrass when intimidated by a very formal setting --- it won't hurt to learn bits about the proper ways --- you'll never know if you get invited to dine with a queen or something LOL

The "proper way" is dictated by the culture in which you were raised. As an American, I've been taught that this is the proper (or polite) way to eat. Yes, it is impractical and may seem barbaric to those who were taught to keep the fork in their left hand, but it's a cultural thing.
I think more people need to focus on chewing with their mouths closed and not reaching over another's plate than they do silverware etiquette.

Silly me always assumed eating "American" style was just eating till you died of a heart attack.

I MUCH prefer American style utensil handling. In fact the other style repulses me.
When I'm at a dinner table I don't want to see someone performing an autopsy on their food.
i prefer the african style.
