I find this website interesting because it doesn't rely on "stereotypical southern etiquette" but it most likely relies on etiquette that is correlated with social class and gender. I find that interesting and think that not everything can be learned in a "lesson/class."
But, this website provides a decent example of how to organize etiquette. And be careful with language use as to avoid the back and forth in this thread.  |
At least they teach Continental dining, not just American. I hate swapping my utensils and stopped as soon as I learned that that was "an option."
I tend to be more pro-politeness than etiquette if only because people make etiquette so much more complicated than it has to be at times. And etiquette seems to lag behind the culture, as it is inherently conservative in its nature.
