oh, the stuff you will do
The decline of the American pen is in a worse state than I thought. Today, in Office Max, I saw a 0.7mm pen marked "fine" point. 0.5 is widely considered to be "micro."
Micro, people.
This is bad, really bad. Gone are the days of Micro meaning 0.3 or - be still my heart - 0.1. Now it's all about Bold, the 1.0mm behemoths, Hummers of the handwriting world, obscurers of tiny script. I had been in denial about this progression, but the 0.7 fine point really drove it home.
It seems that every company has their own standard sizes and labels, so there were still some 0.5 fine points, but I can see where this is going.
