0.5mm or 0.7mm?

0.5mm without a doubt but use pen you pleb

>>8905095
>pen

kys

0.5 so long as you don't write like a downy

>>8905096

Give me one good reason pen is not superior to pencil you can't

>inb4 muh erase

>>8905076
I use your pic in 0.5mm and it's the absolute best, especially if you write small and fast

>>8905103
ink

>>8905095
>use pen
Fuck you where you breathe.

I don't know why but they've always felt so much nicer than mechanical pencils

>>8905181
Buy a good mechanical pencil and you won't think that.

1.6 pen for lecture notes
0.7 pencil for problem sets/proofs

Math major. Find a flaw

>>8905198

0.5mm or 0.7mm. don't care, use them interchangeably.

the pro-est move is erasable pen, though

i only use blue bic pens. i hate how dirty pencils are, and the sound of them on paper.

>>8905213

if you ever need to submit written work, pencil looks like shit from a child

>being concerned about looking like a child because of what you write with
using pen is a dead giveaway that you're a brainlet

>>8905234

i'm sorry your departments don't have standards. actually, hating pens is extremely brainlet, maybe think before writing

>>8905230

>durr brainlet
Really?

I use pens almost exclusively. I find they last a lot longer without ever having to worry about putting in lead or sharpening them etc.

I make mistakes all the time. I just cross it out. You can complain that that looks shitty, but you know what else looks shitty? Paper that's been written on with a pencil and then erased. If you're just erasing one word it's OK but more than that and it looks like shit, and anyone will be able to tell that you made a mistake and had to erase it.

Plus erasers make that stupid rubber "dust" crap that gets everywhere

>>8905076
.7, .9 is too thick and .5 breaks too much.

>>8905288

pencil is harder to read, if you need to read a lot of papers starting at pen all day is bullshit. pen or print is used in anything of note. any official documents of consequence requires pen. contracts are in pen. anything upper level in school, correspondence will be in pen, or ink. do you not care about how you present yourself professionally? this shit makes a difference, unless you're at a clown college that has gradeschool standards

>>8905314
*staring at pencil all day

>>8905076

>lead breaks as the pencil moves through the air to the paper

>>8905314
If you're not typing then you're doing math, if you're doing math you're absolutely fucking retarded if you're using a pen. In case you somehow didn't understand this, a signature is not the same thing as writing an entire paper.

>>8905389
>i have hulk gloves for hands

1.0
Everything else breaks too much.

>>8905076
I prefer writing with a 0.5, but 0.7 is far more practical for use at Uni. 0.5 is just too damn delicate to throw in a bag.

>>8905410

if you're writing math papers, it's in latex. if you submit work in fucking pencil, then you're an undergrad peasant.

Math in pen is also really good. Again, think through what you're going to write. If you need to erase, then use an erasable pen.

I had a professor from Ukraine 3 semesters ago. He said over there you do everything in pen, because the philosophy is if you can erase your mistakes, then you can't look back over your notes and problem sets and recognize/ learn from them. He was actually shocked when so many of us pulled out pencils every class.

>>8905417
No kidding
I use .9 and 1.3 mm
But mostly just normal ass painful wooden pencils because I'm used to them

That makes a lot of sense. I always use pen when solving problems and shit, and when I make mistakes I whip out a different color, strike through everything and write why it was wrong (often with insults to myself).

0.2mm or bust

get 2b lead, 2b is much better than hb

>>8905076
pens are objectively better or a blunt pencil if it's for rough work

>>8905076
>0.5mm
THIS. Without any doubt.
>>8905230
THIS too. Really nice pens dude
>>8905198
Holy shit. 0.7 is barely usable for mathematics. If you get to the index of your index writing in 1.6 is literally impossible, unless your letters are 3 cm in height and you are wasting one page for a whole theorem without proof.
>>8905417
>>8905292
lol. Are you apes?

>>8905495
>when I make mistakes I whip out a different color, strike through everything and write why it was wrong (often with insults to myself)

Thinking about trying this

>>8905195
Buy a good wooden pencil and you won't think that. Buy a Palomino Blackwings and you'll never go back.

The 0.5's break too easily so the 0.7mm.

>>8905076
0.9

pretty happy with them desu

A serious question, why does the type of pen matter? I write with whatever i can get my hands on, I dont really care.

>>8906408
That means you're a normal functioning member of society. Let the spergs wrestle over their choice of pen.
