Everything smears like crazy if you're left handed. Graphite is at least easier to wash off than ink.

Sorry OP, don't use either. Just write notes on "notes" on my iPhone. My crippling carpal tunnel also eliminates any possibility of using either as well.

If you have kids, does it freak you out that they won't be able to read cursive at conversational speeds?
Because it seems like that's kinda a big deal.

I mean, in terms of understanding the language it isn't, but like you take them to a museum and they can't read Lincoln's handwriting as 'english', that seems like a general loss.

Once men turned their thinking over to machines in the hope that this would set them free. But that only permitted other men with machines to enslave them.
I bought a punch of those cheap bic pens and they're great! Really smooth writing. gently caress pencils, this isn't grade school

You aren't either, righty. Hovering your hand over what you wrote is worse than Hitler.

This thread caused me to do some googlin' and I have used those Pilot Precise pens in grade school, so if you like them, check out them G-2's I posted above.

I guess there is an entire world dedicated to 'best pen' but fellow Pilot fan, let me guide you to a safe harbor.

Goddess bless!!

I like pencils when I have to fill out some sheets for work before I type them up. I like pens for general use otherwise.
