Pen VS Pencil

[flytai45]

For some reason my hand gets tired writing with pencil, but when I write with pen, it doesn't get tired at all.

When I take notes, I like to use non-lined paper and colored pens so I can color-code different sections. In general, I tend to use pen more than pencil because I like crisp black lines. But I'm very picky about my pens. Right now my favorite brand of pen is the Uni-ball Vision Elite (Micro) or the Uni-ball Signo.

When I do math, physics and chemistry problems, I tend to use mechanical pencil. No particular reason why, but it's just that I've come to associate those subjects with using pencil. I also only use certain brands of mechanical pencil, like Pentel or Mitsubishi. They just feel better to grip and seem more precision-engineered than, say, Bic mechanical pencils.

Under normal circumstances I absolutely refuse to use wooden pencils, except for one instance: when I'm taking a standardized multiple-choice test where you have to fill in the answer bubbles. When the tips are dull you can fill in the bubbles faster.

You seem like a weirdo...but not the weirdo you avoid thats beggin for spaceship donations in front of a supermarket but a funny weirdo that I would end up being friends with bcuz of my sense of humor..oh and i prefer pen

would depend on what you want to do with it:. for writing pencils are just unuseful, but would choose them although

I like my Bic fountain pen

I used to use pencils when I was younger, but now I've grown fond of pens as we had to use them in junior high. I think I would prefer a gelly, fine tipped ball-point pen. As for pencils, I like those refillable mechanical ones.

Pens tend to smudge when you write with them. A pencil will always write even if it is dull.

[Overlord Nadrian]

Pen.

 

[Deadmon]

Pencil here...can't really use pen when you do a ton of math everyday!

 

[Eon-Rider]

To me, they're situational. I use pens for general writing but pencil when doing diagrams at school in subjects like science. That's the general convention.

Pen, with like 2 other colours, and also a highlighter.

Gotta stay neat

 

[outgum]

Definatly Pen, So when you draw Penis'es in peoples books at school, they stay there forever

Pencils are for babies and pansies.

Whats that? An eraser? WTF? You haven't even started writing and you've already assumed you're going to make a mistake. Weak man, really weak.

I actually found an old crow quill and a bottle of ink the other day. I got a legal pad and just started writing random stuff. It's eerily calming.

Cool story mthr.

Write something in Old English

 

[OmerMe]

Pencil. Yeah I make mistakes...so what!


EDIT: Pen if I absolutely have to.

This.
I don't like pens, I don't feel comfortable writing/drawing with them, and I use them only during tests that require pens.
Although I prefer a pen over a normal pencil, I use a mechanical pencil.

 

[Toa_235]

pen ofc.... but pencil only when im drawing something or... dunno

 

[astrangeone]

Pencil/mechanical pencil - because I make mistakes, and it's more of a tactical sensation than writing with a pen. And the graphite in the mechanical pencil means that you can vary the thickness of the letters. Hehehe.

The pen is obviously more mightier than the pencil. The ink in there is certain and sure while the graphite in a pencil is weak and prone to mistakes. The pen does not require sharpening of it's material to boost it's confidence. The pen is confident from the start.
