The one I was working with at that moment didn't, but...yeah, it's messy, and it bothers me, and I think that's why I developed the habit.Elizabeth H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09161162407130146871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36092055.post-5438980129768655682014-05-29T16:34:09.493-07:002014-05-29T16:34:09.493-07:00I've long done this with ball-point pens becau...I've long done this with ball-point pens because of clumping ink on the tip. I don't know why it bugs me on the pen but not on the page.

I know I rotate pencils. Did ever since 7th grade when I first took a drafting class. Now which direction do I twist them??????<br /><br />Don't rotate pens. If I am not using a technical pen I use a fountain pen.Bill Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14649212489891769390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36092055.post-81526424313161487392014-05-28T15:21:00.353-07:002014-05-28T15:21:00.353-07:00Thank you for using the word "observant"...Thank you for using the word "observant" rather than, well, other words....<br /><br />Pencil rotation is one reason I can't help kind of preferring the plain old hexagonal style rather than round or triangular pencils: hexagonal pencils ratchet nicely from one position to another.Elizabeth H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09161162407130146871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36092055.post-87187547264559528422014-05-28T13:19:39.776-07:002014-05-28T13:19:39.776-07:00I'm a pencil rotator, but not a ballpoint pen ...I'm a pencil rotator, but not a ballpoint pen rotator. I rotate pencils to the left, and I'm right handed. It's weird, I know, and you're very observant in pointing this out.Joe Vhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10679530650280030752noreply@blogger.com
