Are you using red pen?

na.. haha. yea i had the same experience too.. here's the explanation behind that.. if u use red ballpen while doing school works (writing, quzzes, seatworks, excuding checking papers) your teacher will take it as ur mad @ them or you don't like them..and red means war or hatred d color of anger.. haha..

Here maybe only the accountants will have a chance to use the red pen. As red words means breakup here. If a friend writes to you in red ink, that means to say the friendship between each other is over. This is why we never write anything in red. I love China

yeah i do. i love red soooooooooooooooooooooooooo very much. :) and yes i hate it sometimes if they will let me change the color of the pen or something that i am writing... i will just say ":( its my fave color". but i understand if they dont want me to use red, we cant force them to like red.. maybe they have bulls on their blood, hates red :))

Well i've never been stopping from or screamed at for using other color pens than asked. This is because i'm so obidient that i'm always with the crowd and following what's being told to do. The common pens i use are blue and black ones. I'll use pens of other colors only when decorating or writing a birthday card for my friends, and still i'm not using red pens,haha. The only period of time when i use red pen is during my days as a teacher in school. Red pens are used to mark exercise books and commenting on students' work.

I believe a pen is a pen as it is used for the same purpose, to write. But sometimes, to facilitate marking student's answers, teachers use red pens as this attract our attention the most. We see its effect because as we see our answer sheet, our eyes fall mainly where red pen has been used. Me, personally, i like using black pen to write and i use red pen only to correct any self-work i've done. If someone force me to change the type of pen i am using, i would surely want to know the reason behind it.If i get a valid reason i will accept otherwise i won't.

I am a different pen color user myself. At work all my paperwork are in different colors. I think black and blue are just to boring colors to waste on paper so i like all different kinds of color pens. So far no one every had me use just one color

Well globally I think the red pen is used only for corrections so no wonder your teacher was livid. I don’t use red pen for writing but for correcting my son’s copies. Otherwise I prefer using black pen, I like the bold writing of the black colour. I don’t like writing with blue ink.

Hi preciousgem, I use red pen only to underline the important points and underline the side headings.i write answers with blue pen.I like color pencils also.i using different brands pens.my writing is very good,so i take special care to using pens.

i had once used my mothers red pen by which she used to correct my test papers, and i got horrible shouting from her.

yes i do, i'm a teacher, red ballpen is a must when checking test papers and marking failed grades. i like using red ballpen with light color in it.

Yes i have tried using red pen too. But like you, i was also once scolded for i am using the red pen in writing a formal note. We are not allowed to write red pen when we are writing for something formal. Since then, i trained myself to only use my red pen when checking papers. Doing the checking, i really love to use red pen, it is like you are also a teacher. Just like you too, i am fond of using colored pens, and i started to like doing that was at my last year in highschool. Because of my sister, i always borrow her colored pens and bring it at school. With that, i started to like it and i always ask my mom to buy me one too. Don't hesitate to use colored pens then, you can use it while doing scrapbooks. But always put in mind that the wise pen of all time is black.

You are lucky you have parents who can still buy you things especially different colours of pen, maybe it is expensive. I wish I can have that collection too. I also remember during my elementary years almost all the teachers in our school doesn't want us to use red pens for writing activity. But there is one teacher who happened to be my favorite teacher. She is a very soft spoken lady and have a good heart too, she encourages us to write our writing task and she wont mind if we will use any kind of ink as long as we have our output. And I think I learn from her.

Red pen is so bright for me. I like black pen. I use black pen when i check a testpaper then my teacher got angry. She said i must use red pen in checking test paper. Then i said to the teacher check the test paper yourself then I go out.

its part of a school rule that the only person who can use red pens are the teachers. haha.. sometimes there are strict teachers that black pen is the only pen we can use in examinations.

am not using any pen

Since you mentioned it, I remember using different colored pens when I was a kid and loving to write a lot. My brother has always called me a pencil pusher...meaning that I don't really have any specific job or skill that I always stick to, but I am usually do something that requires a lot of writing, like filling out applications or underwriting logs. But, most teachers have a tendency to do all of their markups and corrections in red ink. I remember my teachers asking us to use blue ink. Nowadays, people usually want you to use black ink to fill out forms and such. I recently bought a pack of colored pens (for training in a job that didn't work out), and ended up having fun writing to my niece with them. Hope you will some day go back to writing with your colored pens as well!

The only thing I could remember about red pens is that they are not allowed to be used whenever you write something. Most government offices require a black pen when you use and write on the forms they provide. They do not even allow blue pens. When I was in school, I only use black and blue pens and red pens are used when we (I and all of my classmates) exchange our papers and check each others work. I do not like red so much so it was okay for me way back then if teachers do not allow red to be used. But when I had my diary before I used a red pen for the dates so that they are easily located. Anyway I also had a time of my life when I collected pens with different colors in it. I never got scolded by teachers because of red pen because before we started writing they already informed us of what is only allowed.

I don't like to use red pen.Every schools in my country use red pens for teachers checking answer.I don't like to collect pens too.Every students must use black or blue for learning.

I use red pen all the time! Why? Because I am a teacher myself. LOL. I need to use red pen when marking my student's papers or books. I use blue pen for other purposes and coloured pens for craft works.

In my school days, we are taught to use only black or blue pen. Red is a pen for the teacher! And further nowadays working in the society, I only fancy with black pen. I don't fancy the colour, but I fancy the pen tip and pen size and design. However, I will use red pen on things that need my attention. The older generation even believe that only if you are cursing someone, that you use the red pen in writing their name.
