Do english people really have to say mechanical and wooden pencil?
Ah well, I refer:
'Potlood' as pencil, a wooden pencil.
'pen' as pen, a mechanical pencil.
In my context, I rather want to use a wooden one so I can erase the lines I've drawn wrong.
I myself prefer mechanicals. They never widen or dull, and I have a habit of sharpening wooden ones until they're perfectly sharp, which ends up lasting a few seconds or just breaking them. Plus Mechanicals never break like wooden ones do. To each their own.
Fun Fact: The first set of doodles was done using a 2B regular wood pencil that had a huge crack running down the length of the pencil. I was rationing my mechanic's lead because I was down to my last piece. Said wood pencil decided to split in half an hour later while in my pencil bag.
