The problems shown in this video do not exist in the Extraordinary Form although there are a couple of problems with receiving at the railing which should be taught more clearly:
1. When kneeling at the railing, do not extend your arms/folded hands over the railing where the priest will pass by, for obvious reasons!
2. When receiving, tilt your head back slightly and stick your tongue out slightly. I find some are bowing their heads and sticking out their tongue which makes it difficult to place the Host on the tongue or they don't stick their tongue out far enough and some stick it out way too far.

Good one - they covered it all!
And I see people doing the X things all the time. They are never reminded of the proper way to receive. Also, in preparing youngsters for First Holy Communion, it appears their teachers only teach them how to receive in the hand and never on the tongue.
Intinction is the way to go!
You got it JR. In fact, most DRE's can't stand it when they see Catholics receiving on the tongue because it messes up one of the goals of their re-education camps--I mean catechism classes: Make sure Catholics know NOTHING about the Church before Vatican II except what we tell them (it was bigoted, chauvinistic, moralistic, judgmental, etc.).
And out pastor, Fr. Tolerant? No matter what he thinks, he ain't gonna speak up about it. Just keep shoving those hosts into those little hands.
Now let's sing another verse of Anthem!
