To Use Or Not To Use Nib Sheaffer's Snorkel?

Chuckling about the nuns, but really, I wouldn't paint all who answer that calling with the same brush (they certainly have a reputation in education circles however).

We had a similar rant a year or so ago about a nun who insisted on converting lefties. Wonder what made them so mean?

 

My Catholic school didn't even have nuns, and yet I was made not to be ambidextrous.

They weren't mean, the nuns just thought left handed writing was a handicap. So, they would try to help lefties like me to write right handed. With me they gave up at the end of the school year. Maybe this conflict was another reason I don't care for writing. It has been necessary to write stuff until I finally retired. The nuns weren't cruel, they just felt they knew best. I have thanked those nuns all my life for the education I got from them. They never hit anybody. All it took was a look from them or having to write stuff XXX times.

 

I like pens as toys. Writing, not so much.

Oh, and isn't it "grammar"? (from the title line)

At the end of the day, none of it was a grammar issue until the very end anyway.
