It really tempts you to write calligraphically.
- m463 6y agoI have to do something different, maybe press harder because some of my strokes are almost invisibly thin. Same problem with pencil. I do like a fat magic marker, and mechanical pencil is fine. Thinking about it, in the past decade or two, I haven't ever written much more than my signature. Maybe in the future writing will only be done for pleasure, like listening to vinyl.
- visarga 6y agoI spend a sizeable proportion of my work time with it in my hands, drawing my plans.

In my teens it was an expression of character. Later in life, I did a master's degree that required many written exams over several years, and I found i was getting hand pain and cramping from writing so much for so long, over 2 hours for example. After some Googling, I turned to itallic writing (I'm right handed), where all strokes are of the form //////. It made a huge difference and I stuck with it.
