On Mechanical Pencils and Pens (Again)

By Blog Stories at 07/21/2008 14:50
Like what was mentioned yesterday, ordinary pencils differ from their mechanical counterparts by a wide margin. The yellow pencils are there mostly for kids' use, since these pencils are much much cheaper. Kids sometimes tend to lose their school stuff, so why bother giving them very pricey?

For the more affluent and mature, however, mechanical pencils are much better. Aside from the absence of the need for sharpening, mechanical pencils look more formal, more expensive--fit for an office professional like you. Aside from that, wooden pencils do not come in latex covered bodies that will ensure the good grip (the grip in wooden pencils is simply horrifying!).

Ordinary Pencils Vs. Mechanical Pencils

By Blog Stories at 07/20/2008 15:46
Way back when I was in daycare and eventually in first grade, I remember myself only using a pencil. We all did when we were so young. It's usually yellow. I do not know why manufacturers always like their pencils to be colored yellow. Maybe it's jolly looking?

Anyway, back then, the pencil comes with the regular sharpeners in which you have to turn around your wooden pencil. That was the norm, and it still is today. At least that was the norm when you were so seven or eight. It was a surprise, I can recall, when I met the mechanical pencil. I was confused. Is it really a pencil? If yes, then why is it not made out of wood? What difference does it make, anyway, to have it in that form?
