Welcome, refined individuals, to the world of etiquette! Where the unwashed masses come to learn the ways of the civilized.
Q: What's the difference between "whom" and "who"?
A: Whom is the correct answer when the subject of the sentence is the object of the action, but let's be real, nobody actually uses this word in real life. Who cares?
Q: How do I hold my fork correctly?
A: It's not just a matter of "correctly" - it's a matter of not looking like a savage. Hold the fork like you mean it: tines pointing down, like a sword, and don't stab your neighbor.
Q: What's the best way to respond to a compliment?
A: Oh, thank you, it's just... uh... my hairdresser said it looks fabulous, but really, I just threw some mayonnaise in my hair that one time and it looked... interesting. Anyway, thank you, I suppose.
