Hmm.

Really random question.

How many fingers do you use to hold your writing utensil of choice? Apparently you're only "supposed" to use two, the thumb and the pointer finger, and using the middle finger makes you a "caveman."

I use three. How many fingers do you use?


(Yes, it's 2:11 in the morning. This is a pressing issue! I must know! Sleep? What's that?!)

I use all of them. I always forget that I hold my pencil like a weirdass until somebody points it out.

I used two and three. *shrugs*

I also use three. I have problems holding the pen steady as it is. You should look at my handwriting and try and imagine how that would look if I only used two fingers. I guess no one could read that anymore.

4...

2 with pen resting on my middle finger...what does that say about me? :p

I'm the same as Jenny. I can't write with two; well, I suppose I could...but you wouldn't be able to read it.

yeah, i write funny, maybe since i'm left-handed and the pen rests on my ringer finger..so i use 4. sounds like you're not so weird after all! whoever came up w/ that rule sounds very elitist.

Two? What? I have never seen that, ever...

[stoopbeck.livejournal.com]

I know, right? What is that?

[stoopbeck.livejournal.com]

Haha, well, after I made my post, I realized that I put three fingertips on the pencil and use a fourth to brace...

Yeah, I really don't know what standard they're going by...

[stoopbeck.livejournal.com]

Haha, brilliant, you took a picture! I use three, pen resting on my ring finger. :D

[stoopbeck.livejournal.com]

Turns out I use four, too... :]

I do it the same way you do. I hold it with my thumb, pointer, and middle, and rest the pen on my ring finger. Are you left handed or right?

[stoopbeck.livejournal.com]

Right handed.
