Nobody of Consequence Posted June 9, 2003 Report Posted June 9, 2003 Easiest way to write with an eraser would be on carbon paper, surely?
Tralla Posted June 10, 2003 Report Posted June 10, 2003 Eraser shreds, aka eraser filings, aka eraser poop, aka the tiny bits of rubber crap that you usually just brush irritably out of the way...
Rhapsody Posted June 10, 2003 Report Posted June 10, 2003 I'm old fashioned in that I actually write things out by hand before typing. It helps my thoughts flow. Pencil, only because you can erase. Pens bleed sometimes. And keyboards...are the mnedium of writers' block. For me, anyways.
Canid Posted June 11, 2003 Report Posted June 11, 2003 More of my mumbling comments... I am a heavy user of mechanical pencils and find that the clicking becomes very habitual and barely noticable - almost never an inconvenience. The lines produced are as bold and exact as any pen (which is actually the main reason why I like mechanical). And pens? I hate it when half the letters produced have gaps in them. For the fine ones, they either soak spots in the paper or their nibs break - I use them as rarely as possible. Very few pens I've found have neither of these problems - plus it is much easier to predict when a pencil will run out of lead. It is a real worry for me when I'm inking things in on a picture I've spent a long time on that the pen will cut out mid-way through and I'll have no way to complete it with the same type of line.... I do not look forward to writing the english exam... we HAVE to use pens..... :pen:
