Ok, well I have poor handwritting I suppose and would certainly need mine in university.

I've a friend who has dreadful handwritting; almost like he can't control his hand or something. And was thinking, English may be greatly difficult for him to keep notes and such with a pen.

haha man, i've been using bic ball points my whole life. for the last 2 years i've been using the same bic types with my own grips attached to them all.

I've tried the pilot V7 hitec point and it's so bad haha, everyone says it's good and easy to write with, it's so hard! I might have to go with the bic crystal, since it's bic :D

Serious? I love the V7. I use it for exams because it writes so smoothly. But it is a bit awkward at first because you basically have to hold the pen vertically, but you get used to it.

Normally I just use a pilot supergrip.

Either way, I have shocking handwriting.

what's the difference between a roller ball and a ball-point pen? I always thought they were the same thing, but it turns out they aint :confused:

The Pen I used in HSC (Only for English Adv & extensions) was Mitsubishi Pencil Co Ltd - UniBall Eye. It glides so very easily!!

It's the l33t pen, but its probably the MOST expensive pen you will ever buy for study purposes (this excludes Parks, those $100 pens which trick people saying that there's gold lining or something ;) )

Yeah I tried out those Bic Smoothie pens, and they're fabulous, they're so easy to write with. And so now i'm going to use those and papermate flexgrip ultra for my essay writings :D

Haha I got angry last night from trying to adapt myself with the Pilot V7, so I smacked the tip of the pen on the desk and it broke haha, oh what a waste...

My teacher recommended we write in black ink during english exams, since it's easier to see when marking. Less pain for the markers I guess :p

Ah Pluvia no wonder you got a killer uai near mine...

Anyway, I'll keep the pen secret to myself, and hopefully it'll stay like that till my next generation.

=) everyone continue using blue!! ;)
