I've been reading websites not related to pens, wondering why so many spell the word as "Pelican" instead of "Pelikan." Duh! -- ~~Bluesea~~ Spam is great in musubi, but not in email. Please take out the trash before sending a direct reply. |

It's probably done by the same people who (and this drives me NUTS) think
that someone who writes an intro to a book for an author is writing is "forward", and not a "Foreword". It doesn't bug me that they would write it, it REALLY bugs me that the company would PRINT it!

LOL! No, it's only because I'm so used to fountain pens that I now see "Pelikan" as the normal spelling. -- ~~Bluesea~~ Spam is great in musubi, but not in email.
