When I was learning to write in school, my teachers made me put the little triangular grip on the end of my penciled to train me to hold it correctly. It never really worked. I have always held a pencil or pen awkwardly and my penmanship reflects it. But God knew that the digital age was coming and I wouldn’t have to be encumbered with old fashion hand writing. While I don’t write nearly as much as I type, I do highlight most of what I read in printed form. Because of my grip on the highlighter it’s usually difficult for me to draw a straight line over a sentence, but not anymore! These extra large Bic highlighters have made my life a little easier. I guess its simply because they are easier to hold, but I can pick one of these babies up and draw one straight and smooth line. Being able to draw straight lines with this highlighter has kept me from going insane due to my perfectionistic tendencies.
