Niche poll, please boost for reach and add comments for options not included in the poll:

Which writing implement makes your own #handwriting look best?

Edited to emphasise: HANDWRITING. I thought this was unambiguous.

@xahteiwi left handed here. I love the IDEA of fountain pens but they don’t work for lefties.

@Unixbigot Oh I'm sure they do, just as long as you write Arabic or Hebrew. 🙂

@Unixbigot Come to think of it this raises two interesting questions:

1. Has anyone in the last 30ish years come up with fast-drying ink, making fountain pen writing more suitable to lefties?

2. Is there, or has there historically been, a greater prevalence of left-handedness in world regions where RTL writing systems were devised? (maybe @yaakov might know?)
