Subj: RE: Fork and Knife? Knife and Fork?



I (family from Florida, have lived in NJ, Chicago, Texas, NY, Washington, DC

and Western PA) have always said "knife and fork." But I say both "shoes and

socks" and "socks and shoes." I think I use the latter when talking little

children, and I am unconsciously stressing the "proper" order for putting them

on.

For me, it has always been "knife and fork", never the other way round.

In fact "fork and knife" sounds about as unnatural as "socks and shoes".

but, darn it, there's a bet ridin' on it!



Has any work been done on a regional distribution

of usages of "fork and knife" vs. "knife and fork"?



A few colleagues of mine claim that they use

"knife and fork" and the other variety seems strange.

Another colleague uses "fork and knife" and says,

to him, the other usage sounds, in his word, "British."



Any insights, observations, or anecdotes are welcome,

and you may forward them to me personally, if you like.

I'll post a summary if the information warrants it.



Thanks in advance!
