My friend got the cacao nib hot chocolate, which tasted caramely and soooo good. |
Computer hard drives and printers are a far cry from the nib pens and inkwells of Fairymount National School 100 years ago. |
When he had a vertical stroke that began above the minim or, as in Uncial R, went below the minim, he began with the nib at about 30 degrees. |
To this day I can not write cursively and the feel of a fountain pen makes me want to twist the nib through the paper. |
Felt or nylon tip pens popular today control ink flow by a tip of felt or bundle of nylon fibres instead of a traditional nib. |
Even then I regretted not being allowed to learn and to use copperplate but the days of the flexible steel pen nib were already ending. |
