I se so many people do this, they use their dominant hand to scut with then switch the fork to that hand before eating. Why?

It's called proper etiquette, neanderthal.

I always hold my fork with my left hand when eating steak so that Nazi's won't see me doing the left hand/right hand switch that has tripped up so many American agents in occupied France.

Torture and a 9mm bullet in the back of my neck? No thanks..forks stays in my left hand.

Do you enjoy being an unoriginal shit-stain on society? It is evident by your continuing string of unwitty cut-downs that you are a complete fucking failure. I bet mommy still tells you she is proud, all the while crying inside. Your own mother thinks you are a failure but is too pathetic to tell you to your face. Instead she spends evenings balling her eyes out, wondering if it was her fault or if you were really just destined to be a loser.

I'm left handed. I cut with my left hand and then
use my fork with my left hand.
It's not too difficult to understand. Using
my right hand for most stuff feels awkward and
i don't have as much control.

I thought this was a Brit/American thang - I usually switch hands - fork in left, knife right, cut, knife either down or into left, fork in right, munch.

European mostly. Brits dont lay down their silver ware. They usually just use a spoon for stirring tea.
