Yes. And it's actually far more efficient; when cutting food in America, a right-handed person must switch the knife to the right hand and the fork to the left, then switch back to eat. It's a lot of wasted time and can get fiddly and increases the chances of silverware being dropped, which is why I much prefer the European style.

Left-handed people, though, would probably much prefer the American style.
