      Quite. People like that refuse to acknowledge the fact that they are people. They have to show that they are richer, more prominent, maybe smarter. Lord knows that they couldn't possibly LIVE without their "civilized nature" or their "class". The very fact that they need to shove such traits in everyones face, manifests that they never truly had these traits in the first place!
      This is an ironic situation, being that these traits appear to be the only thing keeping their ego from crashing down on them. 😀

    @WirlWind494 10 лет назад +7

    For those saying "Left handed pens", there are quite a few sites out there that call bs on that notion. A few (high in the google rankings) show styles of writing for lefties that can be done with any nib or pen. It's not hard and you don't need any special equipment.

    • @diogeneslantern18
      @diogeneslantern18 9 лет назад

      True, being a left handed fountain pen user myself I have never had any difficulties. However, Lamy do make a left handed nib, which makes a WORLD of difference.

    • @WirlWind494
      @WirlWind494 9 лет назад

      PartiZAn18 Aye, but that's basically because they have a bigger, rounder ball of tipping. The reason it feels different is because it's smoothed in basically every direction. It's designed so that when you're pushing the tines (which leftie's tend to do), it prevents the nib digging in and causing skips / scratchiness / etc.
      (Disclaimer: This is my own understanding from research, I'm by no means an expert)

    • @diogeneslantern18
      @diogeneslantern18 9 лет назад +2

      WirlWind I agree with everything you just said. Alas, the rounded nib is indeed designed for left handed writers (as we do tend to push the pen across the paper), a right handed user using a LH nib will theoretically not notice any difference in usage but for a left handed person it is very discernible :)

    I have to say that this fountain pen it is not an ordinary pen. It is a specific " Fountain Pen for calligraphy" and it has a special nib (it is wide, in the width, but very thin in the depth) which comes in different measures, with these pens it is easier to pull very fine likes, using then on the side of the nib. The other ordinary Fountain Pens, like the Parker, Mont Blanc, Aurora, Sheaffer, have a more spheric nib, they write very well but are different and produce a different line.
