Let's be honest here. "Proper manners" evolved out of class warfare. The upper crust decided they were going to be "more civilized" and found a a way to emphasize the difference. Just a way for some people to feel superior to others.

Cutting food and not taking the time to put the knife down and place fork back in other hand

To me too - in Europe, they may hold the fork in the left hand, cut with the right, push it onto the back side of the fork with the knife and then take it to their mouth with their left hand with the fork upside down
Canada as well.

Considered proper fork and knife technique there.

That used to be the top asss-whip. If your granma had to correct you then your dad you got it when you got home.
