    Default Preferred Writing Utensil

    Do you prefer using a pen, pencil, something else, or does it mean little to you? I use pencil because it can erase, but I like to use pen, it feels better to write with and no need to sharpen. Even though being left handed, I get a lot of lead/graphite marks on my hand resting my hand on the paper I just wrote on. Agitating.


    Excuse the cheesy poll question...

    I prefer using a pen, because pencils needs to be sharpened whenever there's no pens around.

    Also, chainsaws are mightier than the sword.

    Sharpie = a brand of permanent marker

    Sharpies bleed alot, so I can't write in them. I prefer pencil, pen is just one big, smeared mess.

    Pencil is what I use most and is what I prefer to use. I'll only not use pencil in places where the use of other tools is mandatory.

    I use a pencil because my writing is so bad I need to erase pretty much every other word.

    I don't like writing in pen. Pencils are a lot better for me. Unless they're dull, and then my writing gets really sloppy. Not as sloppy as when I write in pen, though.

    Sharpies smell too bad to use.

    I like using pencil, it is far superior to pen and it's mistakes can be changed, pens however are stubborn and think theyre always right.
