Quick note to Sundae: I'm sincerely not trying to be a bitch toward you at all, and I apologize if it might seem that way. I just used your comments as a launching point for my confusion and frustration over the silly fork thing.

While eating "properly", the empire slipped away.

The link is dead. I'd love to hear the explanation for this bit of foolishness. And if "the trickiest form of eating is the most polite," why do we not stand on our heads or balance on one foot and eat that way? There is simply no logic to be found in this idea.

I would like to read the article too. I never quite learned the western table manners. I only learned what the other school kids taught me while eating in the cafeteria. "Don't chew with your mouth open; don't talk with your mouth full; don't put your elbows on the table." (No, I've never really talked with my mouth full because I've always been a slow eater and never had much friends to talk to at lunch time. I did, however, put my elbows on the table.)

It's rude to point, and now, you're uncouth and infantile to use a fork to scoop up your food. Hmm....I'm rather glad I've always been somewhat a hermit. I would hate to appear so uncivilized.

There's an infographic for everything... even this.

I always considerd a spork with a sharpened edge to be a sknork, pronounced "snork".

"Spork" sounds funny because it sounds like the name of a Vulcan who didn't make it into Star Fleet.

Silverware used to be treasure. Now it's almost trash and people treat it that way. I've seen some antique silverware pounded in to garden stake shapes to label your various herbs in the garden.

Don't need it for pizza.
