I'm William Hansen, an etiquette coach, and I'm here to answer the internet's burning etiquette questions.
2
This is Etiquette Support.
3
At Dolly Maroll asks, I always do my best to have good table etiquette, but I still genuinely do not understand the no elbows on the table rule.
4
Why is that important?
5
Three exclamation marks.
6
The no elbows on the table rule goes back to the
7
medieval times in Europe where they they were eating from trestle tables.
8
They would put these benches out with sheets of wood on top.
9
If you put your elbows on the table, the table would tip and the food would go everywhere.
10
And obviously that's not very good etiquette.
11
And so it became the etiquette and not to put your elbows on the table.
12
We do really still abide by the no elbows on the table rule because I think it looks really ugly.
13
At Quellinks is saying, what's the proper way to stir the tea clockwise or anti-clockwise?
14
Great question.
15
And the answer is neither.
16
Instead, we stir in a back and forth 612, 612 motion, gently flicking the teaspoon at the top of the cup,
17
not banging around like that, thank you very much.
18
Set it back in line with the handle and enjoy.
19
RG Meister is asking, actually, this site.
20
I'm learning how to cut cheese for charcuterie.
21
Well, you live life on the edge.
22
Here comes our cheese selection, thank you.
23
You don't want to take the best bit of the cheese for yourself and the best bit of the cheese, cheeses that are made in the round is the nose of the cheese.
24
And on this blue cheese here, that would be this bit.
25
So we wouldn't cut like so, because you'd be taking the creamiest bit for yourself, and that's not good manners.
26
Instead, we are going to cut down, keeping the original shape, and then we would place that cheese on our individual plate.
27
We have a question now from Joe P.E.
28
Haley.
29
How do you eat your peas?
30
Excellent question.
31
Cue the peas.
32
Thank you so much.
33
I've just ordered this plate of peas from the nearest available tin.
34
What we don't do is scoop like this.
35
In really casual dining, that might be permissible, but in more formal dining, we're going to use both the fork and the knife.
36
Some people do this.
37
I think this is more difficult to keep those peas balanced.
38
You see, there we go, one's gone.
39
It's much better to just spear them onto the tines of your fork and eat like so.
40
At the Etiquette Man is asking, Is cheersing or clinking your glass on the table proper etiquette?
41
Ugh, so many people do it.
42
But it's not actually correct.
43
In formal dining, you're drinking from fine glassware that's expensively made and if you do start smashing your glasses together,
44
you're going to hear the clink of glass all over the floor and that'll somewhat ruin the meal.
45
We have a tweet from at Shelly Leahy.
46
No, but why should we care about etiquette?
47
Like who the cares about which fork goes where?
48
Why does it matter?
49
They've put in block capitals.
50
Clearly have strong opinions on this.
51
Etiquette is important to everybody.
52
If you are a user of Earth, then you need etiquette and manners.
53
No one is exempt from that.
54
Predominantly what I'm focusing on today is Western British American etiquette.
55
At Drewvy Modi 10 is saying, who even decides table etiquette? like I'll keep the fork however
56
I want without giving some secret message on whether I like the food or not.
57
Okay, so there is some etiquette fake news that does the rounds on social media.
58
There is a graphic showing the different positions to put your cutlery in based on whether you liked the food or not, whether you're ready for a second plate.
59
It's a load of rubbish.
60
The only positions you put your cutlery in
61
when they're not being held in your hand is to indicate that you are resting or if you are finished.
62
When we're resting, the cutlery goes like so.
63
When we're finished, in Britain, we would put the cutlery together.
64
But in other parts of the world, that might be at a slight angle.
65
And in France, the fork might be turned over.
66
That is what the waiting staff are looking for.
67
At Wasim NYC is asking, is it ever okay to interrupt someone in a conversation?
68
Short answer, no. And if it is okay, which it isn't, when is it an appropriate time?
69
I mean, look, if they're on fire, then you might perhaps need to say, I'll just stop you there.
70
Your trousers are alight.
71
But other than that, let them finish.
72
But, note to everyone else, a conversation is meant to be like a game of tennis.
73
You're not meant to hold the ball and not let it go.
74
At Virgin Radio Toronto, we're asking, is it wrong to taste a bottle of wine at a restaurant and then send it back because you don't like it?
75
Well, the restaurant are going to love you because you're going to be paying for the first bottle and the second bottle.
76
The only reason, thank you, that you can send something back is because there is a problem with the wine because it is caught,
77
and that's where there's been a problem in the storage process.
78
By the time you get the winder about here, you will know that it is caught, it will stink.
79
This is from B1 Acre.
80
How TF do you eat a big-ass burger in a non-grotesque way?
81
Well, that's an excellent question, thank you.
82
Now, this burger, this is huge.
83
Nobody's got a mouth that big.
84
So instead, you're going to deconstruct it first with your knife and fork.
85
Take the top of the bun off, and then cut a little bit, and then eat like so.
86
At Richard Bicknays is asking, what fork etiquette do you use?
87
I'm sure I'd get roasted in Europe for my very American knife and fork etiquette.
88
Well, yes, there are some differences.
89
In Britain, when we're using a knife and fork together, they are both held at the same time.
90
The knife stays low.
91
We obviously don't put the knife anywhere near our mouth, and the food is conveyed via the fork.
92
And in Britain, the tines of the fork, the prongs, always face downwards.
93
Now in America, they will start like this, cut a little bit of food, place the knife down on the edge of the plate, turn the fork over, stab and eat,
94
pick up the knife, cut another little bit of food.
95
This is an aerobic exercise.
96
This is not relaxing in any way.
97
So we don't suggest eating like that in Britain, but of course in America it's perfectly correct if that's how they wish to eat.
98
Mr Rickson is saying that according to etiquette expert, Emily Post, there are three proper ways to eat spaghetti,
99
how do you do it?
100
Thank you.
101
You look so appetizing.
102
Well, Emily Post wrote her book in America at the turn of the 20th century.
103
Now, I don't know about the etiquette back then, but I didn't think there were three ways to eat spaghetti, but today there is only one way.
104
You are not going to cut your pasta.
105
It's very bad form.
106
It is just eaten with the fork upturned in the dominant hand.
107
And you go in from the edge of your spaghetti, twist and make a neat little parcel, and then eat like so.
108
At lol, it's Lawrence, says, "'What is the worst etiquette sin ever?' If you do not say please,
109
thank you, and sorry as a human being walking on this earth, then you should be put into Etiquette Room 101 and the key should be thrown away.
110
Those are the absolute basic fundamental things of being a human being.
111
This one is from at Sassy Frenchy.
112
Do they know the etiquette in France to arrive 15 minutes late at the host's house so they can prepare on time.
113
This is a really interesting one and I think one that is changing with different generations.
114
So in Britain and in France
115
and several other countries it did used to be the etiquette
116
that you never arrived on time to someone's house for a dinner.
117
So if I said to you come for 7.30 you would turn up at 7.40, maybe 7.45.
118
However I think millennials and Gen Z now are slightly panicked
119
if their guests are not there at the time they have said.
120
So I would say really if someone now says to you 7.30, I'd probably go for 7.35.
121
As a host it's really nice to have those 10-15 minutes just to have a breather, do those final preparations, have a gin and tonic.
122
And generally the friends that don't get the 15 minutes, 10-15 minute late rule, are generally the ones that don't host.
123
At K Habing is asking, I'm absolutely shocked that so many people think it's shitty to recline in your airplane seat.
124
That's why it's there, so you can recline.
125
I've never not reclined my seat.
126
My seat stays reclined, always.
127
Well, I think the cabin crew have got something to say at takeoff and landing about that, because you're not meant to have it reclined then.
128
Ah yes, they're from Austin, Texas, which explains so much.
129
I would suggest that if you are going to recline your seat, and you are right, at KHB, if you want to recline your seat,
130
you can, but don't do it during the meal service.
131
Do make sure you just sort of slightly check behind you.
132
It's a signal that you are going to do it and you do it slowly.
133
Don't do it violently.
134
At Ms. Robot Butler says, help, this girl is telling me about horoscopes and I've literally no interest in it.
135
I don't know how to get out of this conversation.
136
Try and pair them off with someone else.
137
Say to them, oh, I've just seen someone over there.
138
I must go and chat to before they go.
139
But have you met Anna?
140
No?
141
I'm going to introduce this person with Anna and off you go.
142
It's much nicer than just going, I've got to go, bye and then walking off.
143
At Brave R K9 is asking, it feels like unless I hunt down the waiter that we want the check or bill, we could be there for hours.
144
Is this a thing?
145
The way to get a waiter's attention is purely body language.
146
We don't want any clicking, any clapping, or any flapping about.
147
Instead, sort of sit back from the table, make yourself a little bit taller and try and catch their eye as they go past.
148
Keep the hand at the level of the eye, and then when they come over, please now have the bill.
149
That's all you need to say.
150
At Ed Azumi is asking, I need a crash course on how to properly address royals.
151
Well, I'm going to take the British Royal Family.
152
The King and Queen are referred to as their majesty, but direct conversation, you would say your majesty, and then you would call the King sir thereafter.
153
And Queen Camilla would be ma'am, and that's ma'am as in ham, not ma'am as in farm.
154
And every other member of the Royal Family, if they have an HRH title, would be your Royal Highness, followed by sir or ma'am according to their gender.
155
At Salt Cheek is asking, I'm having an internal debacle right now.
156
A lady is standing in front of me in the train.
157
She looks pregnant, but not really.
158
Do I ask?
159
Do I offer my seat?
160
There is always that slight jeopardy that of course you might offend somebody, but the good news is you're probably never seeing them ever again.
161
If you wish to offer your seat to anybody who looks like they need that seat more than you, then yes, you can do that.
162
At Sean Coomins is saying, I hold the door open for anyone, always, but I would like some clarification on the optimum distance at
163
which it is acceptable to let the door close instead of enduring
164
that awkward long-ish wait and forcing them to break into that slightly embarrassed half-jog.
165
At 2.4 metres.
166
No, that's a joke.
167
There's no correct distance for me to give you.
168
It's just what feels right.
169
But at least glance behind and check.
170
At B-Day 1961 is asking, How do you get rid of house guests that overstay their welcome?
171
I have various different tactics.
172
First of all, I might say to them, have you got a very busy day tomorrow?
173
Or I might say to people, can I get anyone anything else?
174
Which again is another passive aggressive piece of British etiquette mean, please leave.
175
If all of that fails, you can just flick the lights and hope they get the message like a nightclub.
176
Well, those are all of the burning etiquette questions we've got time for today.
177
Thank you very much indeed for watching Etiquette Support.

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?
Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
