I'd love to write with a fountain pen but 1) good ones from Mont Blanc, Parker and Pelikan cost a lot of money and 2) if not properly cared for they either leak link or clog up, which can cause problems when writing with such a pen.

I'd rather write with a top-notch fine-point ballpoint pen instead!

I'm like Charlie Brown with any kind of ink pen. If I write with one I screw up!

In Catholic school I spent 8 years making a mess of my papers, my hands, and everything around me with cartridge pens. I couldn't imagine attempting to use a fountain pen.

I like to use these pens. They're ball point, non-smear gel ink retractables that look good and have a fat rubber grip:

How would this story have been recieved if the principal insisted on goose quills? The point is, times change. Sometimes a change is actually progress. Flick your Bic, man!
