Re: blue or black pen?

black looks more... elegant, smoother, classier... sexier? like james bond =D dunno why he came to mind tho...

fine tip ball point (go Pilot)... pref with a cap, more fun to make clicky sounds with (just while doing h/w, i'm not a bitch to others in exams) and less likely to break

BAM! yeah, you take that extra info about my pen use!

Blue is easier to mark- looks less like photocopying and it shows the light and fall of pressure on the pen easier, making any semi-illegible words easier to decipher.

Why don't we all just look beyond colour. What matters is that they all can write. There should be no disrcimination on the basis of colour.

Black, because its eaiser to read and to write with. My books only contain black ink, blue ink doesn't exsist in my world.

Red for headings, blue for text. blue in exams, otherwise (If black that is) it can clash with the black lines of th paper... Just can stand it when they clash! (mild - moderate OCD creeps in...)

im basically the same, red for headings, black for subheadings, otherwise blue. it looks nicer. anyway, since starting legal studies, i have become a bit paranoid about how neat my book is. my teacher is a messy writer and every1 in my legal class is the same. lol.
