    No, I reserve that to my iPad at times. It misspells words at times. I'm lucky today, it's behaving so far....

    Yes. I've come to believe that the habit is linked to my compulsive need to know where every pen is at all times. It is a one sided monologue that sounds something like this:

    Lamy, Lamy, where's the Lamy, has anyone seen my freaking Lamy. Must find the Lamy!!!!

    No.

    I have used some choice words to describe a section or two though.

    I don't talk to my pens but I sing to them, especially my Chinese pen:

    "Did you ever know that you're my hero..."

    If one of my pens were to say something to me, I suppose I would answer. But it's up to them to speak first.

    I only talk to one of them that occasionally burps ink. Then, its more shouting than talking.

    My pens don't talk to me so much as parrot back what I want them to say.

    Haha! Then they punish you back by dropping themselves on the floor and landing on their nibs.
