Question: Are Fountain Pens outdated and would it be weird to use one in school!?
Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
I still use one, and have for most of my time in education- I'm a university student now, so that is a long time!. I've always preferred them because I find biros extremely difficult to write with!. Cartridge fountain pens are still around fairly commonly, though they're aren't as popular as biros and gel-pens!. I wouldn't say that fountain pens are unusual enough to be 'weird'!. I've only had a few instances of people pointing it out, and was more in a manner of 'How do you write fast with that!?'!.

If you like writing with them, and you find them to be a practical writing tool, I see no reason why you can't use one!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Fountain pens can be very expensive such as Mont Blanc and are a status symbol for Doctors/lawyers etc (only people I've seen use them in years)!. Lefties can't use them!. I would ask your teaches what they think because they have to read it!. Some might consider it stylish but others might think its snobby or a pain to read!. The ink bleeds if it gets wet!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Wow, that's somethin' you don't see much of!. I guess it would be okay to us in school, but I imagine the ink and pen would be kinda expensive, plus the bother of toting a separate pen and ink bottle around to each class!. But if you have excellent handwriting, it may be okay!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I love fountain pens, I use them to draw!.!. but never to write!. Somehow, it's more difficult for me to write with fountain pens!. It would be odd to see one in school!.!. but my art teacher wrote with the good kind, she was good at it!. Www@QuestionHome@Com
