Importance of a Pencil?

Automatic pencils are godly to me. They aren't as messy as regular pencils and I write more smootly with them. I'm horrible at writting with a pen, especially when recopying my final drafts in written productions. >.> Even if people say that pens are cleaner, I dont really agree. When ink doesn't dry faster enough and you pass your hand over it, it's pretty much annoying. As for erasable ink, they aren't as efficient as pencil erasers. Other thing, when pen arrives, liquid paper follows it. I hate both liquid and dry correctors. They don't always work the way you want them to.

But that's just my opinion from very bad pen experiences.
