Pen VS Pencil

[phoenixtaku]

I like pencils better they look nicer to me.
When I write with pen it looks like crap.

I like using pencil over a pen cause every time I write with a pen I always smudge it and with a pencil it doesnt have ink and it wont smudge and you can rub out pencil and I write somehow better with a pencil

How do you think i feel? I'm left-handed so everything i write gets smudged instantly which is why i have to use ballpoint pens.

+2; I'm left handed, but I cope with it; I always used fountain pens, but I rarely smudged

Pen, It's much smoother to write with and it' just overall professional looking.

This.

 

[ProtoKun7]

Wow

my vote made it 50/50

Real men use pens. Pencils are only for those who are weak and double guess themselves. Pens are definite and show that a man never doubts his own judgment.

I AM MAN HERE ME ROAR!

And people that draw diagrams

 

[Elritha]

Neither. I prefer typing then to write using a pen or pencil. That and my handwriting is awful.

My course in college has me typing all the time. But for accounting, I do a lot of side-work on paper. For that, you gotta use a pencil. Make one mistake and don't catch it until like 3 lines after and you're ripping the sheet up and starting over with a pen. Pencil makes it that much easier to correct mistakes (and if you're like me, you make mistakes often from writing too fast

)

Pen cause it feels awesome

Pencil for drawing
Pen for writing

Quill or Keyboard.

What an incredibly silly topic - most people will use whichever tool is best for the job at hand. Except some gbatemp users it seems, who have an almost autistic attachment to a single tool and use it no matter how unsuitable it is. Like the guy who uses a spray can to do his SMART project objective goals and PRINCE2 diagrams.

lol so random
But as for my opinion I prefer Pencil for it's durability, Writing, drawing, diagrams, anything and I can draw something and change my mind without needing a rough copy,
But I'm just 1 opinion...

 

[CannonFoddr]

I use pen

In Work - if I tried to use a pencil, the tip ALWAYS gets broke & half the time I'm nowhere near a pencil sharpener

Also, if I can't find any paper I can usually right a quick note on the back of the hand with a pen - try doing THAT with a pencil - OUCH !!!!

In general, I prefer pens, particularly non ballpoint, or I think they make superfine ballpoints which write more smoothly. I also like fountain pens with a traditional nub. However, there are times when pencil is better, like when I know I'm going to make mistakes, or when I'm drawing, since pencil allows for better shading.

 

[Satangel]

Pen all the way.
Especially when it's a good quality pen, like from Parker.

 

[jdev]

Yeah, I still have a discontinued Parker fountain pen. I'd still use it if I could find decent ink for it (it uses capsules).

I'm definitely a pencil guy. I tend to make mistakes when I'm writing an essay during an exam because of how quickly I'm forced to think and convey my ideas. I don't really like the feel of pens (ball point like bics, never tried a super expensive pen) and I just like pencils overall. The pencil has to have a good eraser though.
