    I use erasable ink pens because when I do my reports for the government I make a lot of mistakes. You can erase what you need but if you wait it doesn't work anymore so it's all good for the work I do.
    I learned back when I drove forklift and had to write out orders and what I took from the warehouses that erasable is a good thing. Been stuck on them since.

    I've been given a few beautiful pens. But I find they're always too heavy. I write really, really fast. And unfortunately my handwriting is all loops and stylised. However, its a little difficult to read. Which I hate.

    So my pen of choice is now a cheap, light, multicoloured bic.
    I find pencils really annoying to use. Maybe auto pencils are better.

    Maybe I should get a Galaxy Note tablet, because that way, I can scribble, and it converts to text. However, I find it grating to read screens rather than paper all the time. And I tend to doodle schematics and stuff when I'm thinking.

    Write In The Rain pens. They will write on just about anything and any angle. I'm used to writing on wet paper, greasy paper, stuff like that and this helps a lot.

    I like a medium tip pen for most things I do. Easier to push when using a pen a lot. :)

    I used to like Papermate ballpoint pens the best.

    Now, I have arthritis and have to keep a fat pen with me all the time. Even just writing a quick signature with a regular size pen is painful.

    I use these now.

    whatever is available. i try to keep a decent pen in my pocket, but without fail i will leave it on my desk before long, where it either gets sucked into the office black hole or goes away with the office pen thief.

    Just a plain ole ball point.
    those felt tips are nice to write with but i hate the way it looks on the paper.
    I also cant stand when you can clearly read something on the backside of a paper.

    i find that pens enclosed with double row industrial chainlink and topped with razor wire tend to work well

    the electricity warnings are fake but it works to thwart most escape attempts

    im not saying there hasnt been successful escapes but i will say its a good thing we remove their tongues early

    Hello,

    yepp, sometimes people look strange at me when they see my set of pens. But then I get the slide rule out ;).

    Regards

    Wow I was wondering what extreme topic would push the envelope next!!!

    I keep Bic soft-feel pens in my pocket for work. I like the click action with no cap to deal with. I think I mentioned on here once that they make a cool stylus for a GPS with the button side. It has a smooth touch how the spring moves on the screen.
