- DanBC 13y agoI imagine the user will overstrike the misspelled word, use a dictionary, and write the word correctly. That will help form correct muscle memory for writing words correctly. I'm more worried about weight and size. Children have small weak fingers, and some of them benefit from thin light pens / pencils. It's an interesting idea though - perhaps they could make a pen that captures everything you write and dumps it out at the end of the day? (I think that's already been done, but I have no idea how popular it was.)
