How many pens have you used in your life?

By | May 8, 2008

I’ve used a lot of pens over the years. Not surprising, I’ve done quite a bit of writing. It’s difficult to know how many bic pens I’d have used if I hadn’t bought a computer. So can a PC save pens and typewriter ribbon?

I’ve used ink pens, fountain pens, biros, bics, black liner pens, felt tip pens… pens with thick points, thin points, … all color pens … pens with ink, gel, …

And, as a teacher, my ideal pen is:

  1. blue or black;
  2. thicker point;
  3. good ink flow in several angles;
  4. comfortable handle;
  5. integrated cap (so I don’t lose it!).

Any suggestions on what brands are better for teachers? I’d love to know.
