My habits vary - depends if I'm putting something else on top of the butter/what sort of bread it is etc. Also what mood I'm in. Generally I butter it all in one go, but occasionally in sections.

However, when I'm buttering it in sections it usually means I'm too hungry to wait while I butter the whole thing. I certainly wouldn't describe this as good manners (usually means I'm standing in the kitchen whilst eating and getting crumbs EVERYWHERE).

I had never considered that how you butter your toast was a difference between the US and UK.

I also thought that toast racks were to prevent "spare" toast going soggy while it's waiting for you to eat it - if you leave it lying on a plate condensation develops underneath. I never considered putting my toast in one and waiting for it to cool down.
