    Don’t US students do everything in pencil? They probably never used one of those.

    I had one that you could refill from a bottle… you had to wipe it a bit afterwards though.

      Either pencil or ballpoint/rollerball. Fountain pens are having a bit of a renaissance as luxury/hobby items, but outside of some Catholic schools, they’ve been irrelevant as American school supplies for 40 years.

      Fountain pens are not a normal sight in US schools. I was an adult before I realized that they were a thing that still exist, and are even used.
