I treat
all of them as completely subjective. Except when the term "firm" is conjoined with "Sheaffer Triumph": then I know what I am in for…
Yes, for some sellers I'm pretty sure their meanings go something like:
Nail - I found it nib first stuck in a dart board.
Firm - My pal Crusher couldn't shift it.
Toothy - One or both tines' tipping missing
Soft - Tried it. Bent it.
Springy - Crusher can get it to lift off the feed a bit.
Elastic - Tried it. Bent it. Sort of bent it back okay. You probably won't even notice if I take the picture from this angle.
Semi-flex - Crusher got it to really lift off the feed.
Flex(y) -
I can get it to lift off the feed and here's a picture of me mashing the nib to prove it.
Wet noodle - It's cracked.
Brushy - It's cracked
and bent.
Wet - The tines are so far apart they're virtually in separate countries.
Dry - It's clogged with old India ink.
Gusher - There's a crack in the section.
