Yes I do. -
My mom just threw the plates and flatware in the center of the table and we took what we needed from the pile, but here's a Web page with a diagram: http://www.didyouknow.org/info/tablesettings.htm

It depends on what's proper. Proper to me is putting the utensils on a napkin on either side of the plate. But that's only because I can't do the napkin flower lol.

8-21-2017 When I was in school I worked banquets. The way you set a table is you set a plate on the northernmost side of the table, and a plate exactly opposite that, then right and left sides, then in between those, so you have eight settings per table, evenly spaced. So I was setting a table at the golf club when suddenly a young lady appeared, shoving the settings this way and that. I was so surprised I didn't speak for a moment. Finally I asked why she was doing that. She said "I'm aligning the settings to the chairs." Nobody had aligned the chairs yet.

No, never had the need to learn
-
You have to have a ruler, just like they use in "Downton Abbey".
-
"Proper" in whose opinion? Different customs in different regions and different "family lines". I know how to do it properly in the way that my family considers to be "proper". It's considered proper by many people I've known but - for example - likely it would not be considered proper in the U.K.
-
yes. at least I know what it looks like. the plate, a charger, soup bowl, and the dinnerware, smallest to the largest outside in. that's how you eat too. start with the smallest and work your way in. that's what Molly Brown told Jack in Titanic. LOL!
-
Yes. But I never have except professionally. I don't even have a dinner table and I don't want one. It would be a waste of space in my apartment.
-
Yes, though there are fewer and fewer formal dinners given these days. Most people don't give them in their homes now. Those I've attended have involved caterers and event planners and their staffs to do all the work, including setting the table.
-
Not at all, know how to make it not gross though.
-
Yes. I worked in a store that sold dinnerware and silverware.
