Do you like writing with pens or pencils better?

I prefer those really expensive $8 ball point pens no one buys at Wal-Mart. The ink flows out of them so well, it's just pleasure to use them. However if you're one to make mistakes, stick to mechanical pencils. But please don't get the cheap ones that squeak while you're writing with them.

well, i would perfer pens becouse when u write something you can do it much cleamer and much nicer. if u make mistakes while writing u can use tippex to correct you mistakes. but with pencil what u write can be easily erased even by mistake... normally we use a pencil to write things more likely to change but most of the time what i write is for permenant basis. on top of that we used to write with pencils when we were kindergardining. that was, when we couldn't write properly without having so many mistakes

I would rather use a pen.pen are made for men.^_^ In my opinion , children are often use pencil while adult use pen. if you often use a pencil you will afraid of making mistakes,that is not a good habit.

I like pens just because they look nicer to me.

I use both but it just depends what you are using it for. I much prefer using a pen when writing or doing school work as it is flowing and you don't have to sharpen it all the time! However i use a pencil when drawing/sketching in art classes. x

I prefer writing in pen rather than pencil because my vision is not that good. I can see my writing more in pen and besides I am use to it because since elementary up to college I am using it. I made some erasures also but every time it happens I just look for another clean sheet of paper to write.

I would much rather use a pen, I find them more flowing and easier to write with.

I like both...but if its pencil, it should be sharpened well and if pen it should be pf good quality. Both are good as long as they work well.

i'm a college student on mechanical engineering, till now i always using mechanic pencil for my note and take my pen when i filling form or give my signature. On my experience use branded mechanic pencil is very nice, comfortable, more life time because it can be refill and cheaper than pens. And for me, as a mechanic design student, i prefer pencil for my hand. Happy myloting !!

For me, I still prefer using pencils compared to pens. Like you, the main reason is that it's very easy to erase if I did a mistake (which I always do). However, pencils require sharpening which can be a little messy and tedious, unless we're using a mechanical pencil, which I use more often than wooden pencils. On the other hand, I tend to dislike using pens because they always stop functioning at the time when I need the ink the most eg. during exams etc. We won't have problems with pencils because as long as the pencil is still of sufficient length, we know we can still write. Also, when writing with pens, I always tend to smudge the ink because of the way I hold the pen. Those wet ink pens are the worse in this circumstance. Hence, whenever I use wet ink pens, I have to write the first line, then wait for a few seconds before being able to write the next line, and so on - this wastes a lot of my time. I guess the only positive side of pens for me is that it is relatively cheaper than pencils. Overall, after weighing the pros and cons of pencils and pens, the obvious winner is pencils! Too bad though that in exams we are made compulsory to use pens to write....but I still use pencils while taking notes suring lectures....

i like using pens a lot..and as of the mistakes.. its so much fun striking the page off! hahaha And well,ink pens are really nice to write too. They can also increase your speed and writing in general.You should try them...

Pen, it seems that I can't find a pencil around

I like using pens, because I like the smooth moving of it on the paper. When I write with pencils I never notice that I'm pressing it too hard on the paper, so rubbing out is a sudgy no-no xP
