My thinking was, hey if I can learn to fret my guitar chords with my left hand, than I can learn to use the mouse. I also hold the knife in my right and fork in my left.

That's the usual way for Europeans.
I never realized Americans did it differently, until we gained an American colleague at lunchtimes, and ... well, it just looked a lot more complicated.
I didn't know there was a standard, but I have seen people do the switch before, and it looked inefficient.
I guess I am a reversed-European, despite being right-handed. Fork in right hand and knife in left hand.
It's always a bit awkward at first when taking up the cutlery because I have to switch at that time.
Funnily enough, there's also a standard when putting down cutlery on the plate, and I have remarks for this while never for the way I eat (they probably assume I am left handed).
