"and you put the food in your mouth" oh really. I usually stick it in my eye

02:10: "Now sometimes you would be in a position here you want to take a break but you're not quite finished yet..." Doggy...?

In French, they have a different style in dinning.

such as:

1. They spoon soup toward themselves.

2. They never use fork on right hand.

3. They don't put the food on the fork's back.

When i finish eating, i just crossthe fork and knife like an X. An push the plate a bit far. Don't know why... But that's in my house. I find this kind of things interesting. Thanks for the tips!

The smaller napkin to wipe your mouth with - larger napkin to wipe yer arse with. Right! Got it.

i have the fork in my right hand and my knife in my left hand i think its easier

I think that doesn't correspond to the facts, because many people are not decent. They wear jeans and eat junkfood so those pecularities are interesting for the real followers of etiquette.

The Yank (American) version is ridiculous, you have to put the knife down every time and pick it up again each time you use the fork? ROFL!
