Whats Your Favorite Things To write With Pen or pincles?
-
I prefer to write with a pen.
-
I prefer using a pen. It is easier for me to use and easier to read.
Also pencils need to be sharpened and I often break the tips when writing :rainbow: :rose: :peace: :wave:
-
pens
-
I generally use ink pens to write with unless it is something that is in thought stage and will need reworked and then I'll use a pencil.
-
whats a pincle? ::)
-
I write with a pen most of the time. Rarely with a pencil.
-
What is a pincle?
-
Well, pencils you can make a mistake and pens you can't. :present:
-
I write with a pen, but I do love the complicated coloring books where you use colored pencils. some times I don't get to work on one, but when I do I just lose myself in it.
-
What are pincles ??? Is this another kid on this site? Yes we know it's pencils, but please REVIEW your posts is that so damn hard geezzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz :bad: :bad: :bad: 8)
-
It would have to be pens.
-
Pens, hands down. Ever since I hit 7th grade when they didn't require pencils anymore.
-
Pen's for me I just enjoy the color of it more then what I would see in a pencil.
-
The context in which a word is used, will often tell you what that word means, even if it is misspelled. What else could pincle be? A pinecone? A pincushion? Just saying....

lol. Who knows? That is why it is important to spell things correctly. I mean it even underlines the words in red when they are spelled wrong. You would be surprised how many people fill out an application and it is riddled with misspelled words. I had one that misspelled the name of the street he lived on. smh No he did not get a job.
-
I agree that correct spelling is important, as is punctuation. But communication can exist in the absence of either. It might not be easy, but people don't deserve to be thrown to the wolves for a misspelled werd. ???

Eventually the context will give you clues what the word is supposed to be... but I was thinking is there a writing utensil that is called a 'pincle' before I figured it was simply supposed to be a pencil. Spelling isn't hard on computers, there is a red line that goes underneath for spell check even on this forum. But whatever, it's a cute way of sounding it out, but doesn't make for effortless reading.
I prefer a pen to write with... one that has plastic grip.

I didn't throw anybody to the wolves. For all I knew it was some new writing utensil that I had not heard of yet. Pincle did not resemble pencil at all when I saw it. And believe it or not there are new writing instruments that nobody has ever heard of. smh.

Exactly. I don't usually try to figure out what words are suppose to be. Esp, like you said when it is typed on a computer. I worked with a girl a while back and her mom was looking at her resume and asked her or stated "I hope you are not sending this out to people like this". It was full of mistakes, sloppy writing, words spelled wrong, you name it.
And in today's world most people are not going to try to figure out what you are saying or what you mean or what you are trying to say.
-
Pens are nicer to write with. I do like being able to erase pencil, but I hate how you drag your hand through it and make it smudgy. It's been years since I had an eraseable pen, maybe I should get one of those.

Not throwing you to the wolves or anything, bremer51, but did you spellcheck your post before you submitted it? I'm just sayin'. :bunny:

i usually use a pen except sometimes at work i use pencil in case i need to make changes
-
Pens pencils are too scratchy
-
Pens make most peoples handwrighting look cleaner. :heart:
-
:heart: :in-love: :kiss: :heart: I tend to use pens more than using a pencil. I still use a pencil's for certain things that I write or draw with, cause they do give the option for erasing if you make a mistake. Pens are smoother to write with though for me. :heart: :in-love: :kiss: :heart:

Pens
-
99% of the time I write with a pen, preferably blank ink. For that 1% of the time when I'm writing something that may need to be changed later, usually a rough draft of something, I will use a pencil.

I like the colored gel pens. Too bad most of them are crappy. They don't last very long and they smudge easily.
-
I still want to try out a pincle. I might like it, you know. :icon_rr:
So I'll withhold my decision until I can find one to try. ;)
:fish:

It's disrespectful to be critical of one's spelling or grammar.
-
I use pencil because I erase some. And I don't like to simply cross off the mistakes I make. Makes the page look messy :sad1:
-
I love pens because they are so smooth to write with. I love pencils when I draw. Anyone like markers better than pens and pencils?
-
:thumbsup: :thumbsup: pens
-
I write with pens, I think it looks nicer, even though I mostly print with one.
-
I use both; pencils you can erase when you make mistakes tho!
-
I like to use a pen for most things, but for crossword puzzles I use a pencil.
-
Pen. Haven't really written with a pencil since school days.
-
I use pens on everything except the check book balance.
-
Id take either my handwritting has went to hell since i learned how to use a computer
-

LOL No it isn't.
-
I rarely use pencils. I much prefer to write with a pen. Welcome to the community forum.
-
I would prefer to write with a pen always, because I love pens and how they write so smoothly; it looks nice.
-
Usually depends what I doing. If I am doing math I would prefer a pencil. Otherwise I use a pen.
-
Pens are my choice not pencils but do like the ability to erase things. I only use pens to pay bills .
-
Lol. Just clicked the topic to see how many people would mock the person's misspelling of the word 'Pencil'. Seriously folks, chill. We all put our pants on one leg at a time.
-
MY MY....with all the brains here no one knows what pincle means?
It means its another word for pencil when others look to put a spell on you and pronounce sentence.
-
Mocking a person for their spelling is hateful, and says more about you than it does about them.
From the replies, most of us understood the question as written.
I use both pencils and pens. I like pens better for most writing.

Paints look up.That post of mine mocks the brainless who think they have brains.
The person who spelled Pattern instead of Patton defended him.I had to use humor there in that post.
Friends?

Understood.
It does make me wonder though, how many people have quit posting on these boards because of being mocked or belittled?
I've noticed several missing lately.
Something to think about...
-
I prefer pencils because you can erase them but lately I've found myself writing more with a pen because the ink is way darker and doesn't smear and get all over your hands the way a pencil does. And those erasable pens are just awful and never erase fully like a pencil.

lol. And making comments directed at others for their post, whether you mention by name or not because of their post, is just as bad. And several have said the same thing.
I do not sit and try to figure out what people are "trying to say". Spelling on a computer is beyond super easy. It underlines the words that are spelling wrong in RED.
And I did not mock anyone I simply asked a question. What is a pencle. Who knows. Never heard of that before.

So you did recognize yourself. Good deal.

lol I am not the only one who has made comments on people spelling words incorrectly. Yes, I knew the jab was directed at me. I really do not care. Like I and others have said, it UNDERLINES the words in RED when they are spelled incorrectly. Someone else pointed that out as well. Actually there have been 3-4 who have said something along the same lines.
All I did was asked what is a pencle. For all I know it is some new kind of ink pen like the gel pens. If you want people to know what you are talking about then you need to spell your words correctly. Otherwise you cannot get upset when someone asks what you are talking about. Heck there is even this nifty thing known as "EDIT" where you can fix mistakes if you notice them after you post something.
-
In fairness, the red underline doesn't always work/isn't always available. I know I've been the object of ridicule on this very forum for getting something misspelled because the 'red line' failed me. It happens.
-
pincle?
-
He who is without sin throw the first pincle.

Let's try an experiment. I'm gonna ask a question. Let's see how many can figure out what I'm talking about by using simple logic:
Do you like Oranges or Dpples?
First person that says "What's a Dpple?" gets a Pincle thrown at them!
-
Pens. I'm addicted to purple so I love getting the ones filled with that color.

I do not know about any one else but I did not ridicule anyone. I simply asked a question. What is a PINCLE?
That is not ridiculing anyone. It is a question. There are new writing utensils available every day. Very well could be something new. Kind of like the Gel Pens and some of those have odd names that refers specifically to a GEL PEN.
-
Pens, and I end up being picky about the pen. I have to like the feel of it. I will use a pencil for adding my checkbook or something similar. I guess it goes back to being a kid and having to use pencils and not being allowed to use pens till you got to a certain age. I do have a bottle of "white out" correction fluid handy!!! lol

Okay, first off I would have NO idea what a Dpple is? I would probably ask you "what is a Dpple". lol
If you can't handle that then it is probably best to not be on the internet at all. That is not ridiculing or attacking anyone.
There was a show that use to come on I think it was Melissa and Joey. And Melissa is explaining to Joey how the internet works. Background info---
He makes a video on youtube and he is dull and boring and he gets close to no hits. He cannot understand why.
So she says let me explain to you how the internet works....
Here is a cat...click
A video on blah blah...click
Oh look a monkey...click
Ohhh charlie bit my finger...click
In the end she gets him to say the same stuff, explaining business stuff, while he is working out. He gets tons of views.
In other words people are not going to sit and try to figure out what you are trying to say. They will quickly read it and go on. I have had multiple times some one replied to a topic I started and they clearly did not even read my post. They just responded by what they thought I meant by reading the headline only.
There have been posts in here where almost everyone who responded was baffled by the misspelled words and non-comprehensible dribble that was posted. (Usually by a newbie that posts once or twice and you never see them in here again.) No one had a clue. And no one was going to sit and try to figure out what the poster meant.
We live in a world where people seem to think it is appropriate to abbreviate everything and in some cases that is fine, and that spelling, grammar, whatever does not count. If you have or had ever worked on a job where you receive or review applications you would understand. And going beyond just online forums if you fill out an application and it has misspelled words on it - yours goes to the bottom of the stack.
Then again, some people just do it for attention. lol

If I still had the emoji board I would give you a thumbs up right here. lol
Maybe I missed some comments. I did not see where anybody had said anything bad. Several people have asked the same question.
They actually do make a gel pencil and the OP could have been talking about something like that. Thus the reason people were asking what the OP was talking about.

JJ whats better then mixing logic with humor?

LOL!!This topic is going to the pits!!Orange you all glad of that?We all need to be thick skinned!
I think if we ever needed a commercial its time!

I think the point I'm trying to make with the 'experiment' is that the common person tends to be either overly sarcastic or intellectually lazy.
I'm sure some people understood what was trying to be communicated by 'pincle' and simply wanted to throw the easy "Zinger" at the poster (who most likely couldn't care less about this whole subject)
The other folks couldn't be bothered to take 10 seconds worth of elementary school 'Reading Comprehension' to figure it out. How long would it take? Let's find out.
The preceding word "Oranges" is spelled correctly, so we get the sense that the question will involve 'Fruit'. The next word is "OR" which suggests that it will be a choice between two items. Common sense suggests that the 2nd option will also be a fruit, as most choices have a level of equivalency.
The final word "Dpples"- having the hypothesis that the second option would be another fruit- can be compared to other fruits that are similarly spelled. Since "Apple" includes all the needed letters, save the first, we can rightly assume that the poster was intending to spell "Apple."
Now I realise that seems like a tall order for some. But Honestly, you don't make yourself look any smarter than the misspellin' poster in the first place, for bypassing an elementary school lesson by responding "Duh, what's a Dpple?"

You know some are better in sports then others.So in the case of writing and grammar thats true too.And i agree sometimes we are lazy.There are more things to get bent out of shape to.And sometimes we all just err.Nothing wrong with laughing at yourself either...its being humble which is a good trait to have.
I think of all the posts written in this topic i found fault with maybe 1 or 2 that i thought were mean....otherwise many just by-passed or could care less or went along with a humorous side to it.
