Pen or pencil?

[Philosophy]

Do you write with pens or pencils?

I'm a pen-person. Pencils are just annoying for me.

[Dingfod]

I write with both. However, my main use of pencil is in my checkbook register. It makes it easier to correct mistakes. Everything else is mainly pen. I had a manager that refused to use a pencil, claiming using a pencil made one careless because you could easily correct your errors. He was and still is an asshat. Hear that, Larry? You're an asshat.

[Philosophy]

I'm not an asshat :glare: . You can still correct your errors even if you use pens, you know. Plus, I tend to rarely make errors in writing.

[Dingfod]

Plus, I tend to rarely make errors in writing.That is a statement that at the very least leans toward asshattery.

[Philosophy]

Errors not as in 'grammatical/composition errors', but as in 'spelling/other errors'. :glare:

And don't ruin this thread. Please.

[Dingfod]

And don't ruin this thread. Please.Now you've hurt my feelings. I was being 100% honest and I'm catching flack from you for it.

[Crumb]

How could he ruin this thread?

[Dingfod]

Don't be mean.

[Philosophy]

Nevermind. I'm mistaken.

[Crumb]

sorry. :(

[viscousmemories]

I hardly ever write anymore, but when I do I strongly favor Uniball Micro pens.

[Philosophy]

sorry. :(

Aww. :)

[Sweetie]

Pens, on a piece of paper that is on quite a few pieces of paper. I can't just have one piece of paper to write on, it has to have many under it.

[Dingfod]

I hardly ever write anymore, but when I do I strongly favor Uniball Micro pens.Do you write in favor of them?

[viscousmemories]

Do you write in favor of them?
I haven't yet, but that's a damn fine idea!

[godfry n. glad]

I use both, but prefer a good sharp pencil. I do a fair amount of writing on vertical surfaces (note taking in the stacks, gate counts, stats from machines), pens are a bitch that way.

Nothing sucks like a sucko eraser on a pencil. The kind where you go to erase and it smears, rather than erases. :scream:

And Phil...he's right. :asshat:

[Carnivale Ed]

I didn't get a pen licence in Grade One so I could use a stinkin' pencil.

[freemonkey]

Pens, pencils, crayons, markers, brushes, sticks..... I likes 'em all.

[livius drusus]

Pens, and with the finest point you can get, like the Namiki Vanishing Point fountain pen. :homer:

[Dragar]

I do all my maths/physics with a lovely sharp mechanical pencil. Not only does this make it easier to correct my many mistakes, it feels so much more satisfying for some reason.

[D. Scarlatti]

Pencil, unless I'm doing the New York Times crossword puzzle.

What I learned from this thread:

1. Philosophy's real name is Larry, or at the very least, he responds to the name Larry.

2.

I'm just kidding, there is no 2.

[ms_ann_thrope]

For writing, I like most anything from the uni-ball rollerball series (my employer is cheap so we get the "Onyx" line, but I still like it). I use Pentel 0.5mm mechanical pencils to make notes in the margins of my textbooks. For everything else, I love the Sharpie. :ffinlove:

[Crumb]

Sharpies are good for signing the breasts of adoring fans.

or so I hear.

[Shake]

Well, Sharpies are good. If I had some adoring fans, I'd be sure to use Sharpies to sign their breasts or whatever else.

Mostly, I use pen, even on the crosswords or Sudoku puzzles. But, speaking of pencils ...
/me runs off to create a new poll

[ManM]

I use pencils. Drawing sketches of ideas on restaurant napkins with pens just doesn't work.
