    I remember when I had penisland pens. I don't know where they got to. I'll probably have to buy some new ones... some day. When I have money.

    I tend to use black ballpoint pens. Since I'm also of left-handed persuasion I have to make sure I get non-staining ink, otherwise I end up with black marks on my fingers.

    Pencil. I like the fact you can erase, but moreover I like the feeling when writing with a pencil (In the sense of the resistence it gives and whatnot). Pens are too smooth and are not pleasant to write with

    And to add to my list of pencil advantages when you snap a pen you get a large mess but if you break a pencil you get very little mess, in some cases the pencil can even be repaired and 2 shorter pencils formed, but once a pen breaks its over.

    I think you're gathering this information for a sinister goal, that will ultimately destroy planet earth.

    Pen because I only really use a pencil when I'm drawing.

    Always pen. When writing in pen you can see your writing clearly, while pencil writing is awfully vague and thus most of the time illegable. The sound the pencil makes while writing is nerve-breaking.

    You hit the nail on it's head right there! Most people in my class are like 'oh noes!! i made a mistake!' and smears like a liter of typ-x (white stuff to cover up mistakes) on their page which makes an even bigger mess than if you had just crossed it out.

    You should see my math exam, it's full of mistakes and thus full of crosses and lines and arrows pointing to the correct answer. I'm lucky my math teacher even corrects my exam.

    I thought only 5 year olds used pencils because with pens they would write on each other and drink the ink. Or something.

    Pen. Fountain pen, specifically. Biro if I don't care whether it's neat.

    Ballpoint pen, so I can scribble notes or numbers quickly before I forget them.

    I like to use pen and pencils but I like using pencils with erasers and colored pens or gel pens especially in pink ink.

    Thank You Polaris for this neat sig!
