I'm a lefty, and with fast drying ink, a fountain pen doesn't smear. Unlike ballpoint or pencil does when your hand moves across it. The "bizarre contortion" is needed anyway to get the stroke weighting correct, unless you use one of those weird offset nibs, which aren't readily available in quality pens.
Off topic, I once got a B+ on a high school physics test, but the teacher told me he marked me down from an A for having the temerity to use an ink pen.
- klodolph 8y agoI was the same, I always did my work in ink and crossed errors out with single lines. Surprised that physics would prefer pencil over ink, most science classes require pen for lab notebooks just to get people in the habit.
- wrycoder 8y agoWell, high school, and we both were chuckling about it.
- 1123581321 8y agoI did about half of my high school trig class with a neon orange gel pen. After I handed in one test, the teacher informed me that it was the last she would accept from me in that color. She never marked me down, though!
