Dee, I was taught that, if someone uses my bread plate or such, to avoid using the wrong one unless everyone else does, too - even if it means doing without.
The bottom line of manners is to make everyone comfortable ("Politeness is to do and say/The kindest thing in the kindest way."), so pointing out a faux pas to someone (other than your significant other, child or such) would be a bigger faux pas than the original one.
Is that what your sister taught?
