Out of curiosity, what role/industry is that?
- chrisseaton 7y agoThe Army - supposed to top and tail letters, especially social letters, with a fountain pen. Ballpoints are crass.
- dboreham 7y agoSocial letters?
- chrisseaton 7y agoInvitations, letters of introduction, thank yous, things like that.
- partisan 7y agoThank you for that tiny glimpse into a different world.
- GuiA 7y agoFWIW, it’s going away with the newer generation, but anyone in France over the age of 40-50 from an upper middle/higher class education would likely follow similar etiquette. Not sure if it’s still the case, but French students were required to use fountain pens from 1st grade till at least high school when i was growing up (as a leftie, being schooled by old school teachers who made you redo any assignment that had smeared ink was painful).
- yardie 7y agoOur son was still required to write with a fountain pen and was graded on penmanship. He was in the French education system to CM2 until we moved to the US 3 years ago.
- renox 7y agoYes, been there done that, I was so relieved when I could stop using these f.. fountain pens. Really annoying to use as for lefties..
