Fountain pens! When you were taught how to write and guiding the pen as you wrote. Now it seems to be the fashio to hod pens in the fist. Maybe biro type and felt pens have made people change, or is you are no longer taught how to write but pick it up as you go?

I had and used a Sheaffer fountain pen at school. I always felt writing was more fun when I used a fountain pen, you felt part of it. Sorry if this sounds horribly pretentious!
