     Hvis du er fan af det konstant knækkende kan trykblyant anbefales. Disse ofte uhyggeligt tynde spidser, der skal manøvreres med et helt præcist tryk imod papiret er uopslideligt irriterende.

     If you are a fan of that which constantly breaks, a mechanical pencil is recommendable. These often frighteningly thin tips that must be maneuvered with a very specific pressure against the paper are unceasingly irritating.
