I voted for pen, too, even though I only use a pen in tests etc. I use a pencil in Maths when it comes to draw some graphs or functions. But honestly I prefer the ballpen or rather a biro.
I chose pen. For several reasons. With regular pencils (not the mechanical ones) I can't stand the feel of them. I don't know why. I've just always been that way. Pen also looks better, and pencil can fade, and just be hard to read. Yes, I remember when writing with a pen was a privilege. :lol:
Pen! Pens are sooooo cool! And when they're empty you just throw them away and don't have to sharpen them. I actually really dislike pencils.. also for drawing, I prefer pens.
I use pen. My college forbids writing with anything but ink & plus pencils make my writing look absolutely horrid. Plus, I'm so rough on pencils that I need to constantly sharpen them where as the pens I use are more forgiving :lol:.
Pen, I haven't used a pencil for probably 2-3 years now. No matter what I'm doing it's always pen for me, and to me something scribbled out in pen is better than something erased in pencil.
Pen- mostly because when I was in year 6 they told me I had to write in pencil neatly until I proved to them I was "worthy" of the pen :lol:. I had scrappy writing so I wasn't allowed it; therefore I HAD to have it. Four years later....I was using biro. Ha! I beat the system! :lol:
Oh I also remember when we got permit to use pen in Finnish exercises... I think it was 3rd grade. But still allthe schoolwork had to be written with pencil. I did that until Upper Secondary School, when I started use pen with notes, but still pencil with exams. Now it's pen because I don't bother to buy new pencils :lol: Tho I draw withpencils.
I said pen, though really it is a biro. I haven't written in an ink pen for years. I may sometimes do notes or rough work in pencil.
