I like mechanical for basically the same reason everybody else does....I just hate it when you run out of lead....

Now that just hurt :(

Mechanical. I hate sharpening (I also hate running out of lead, but sharpening happens more often).

Well, it depends, sometimes mechanical for neater work, but normally a pencil...

*Hopes Xantar is keeping record of this for the next '[erson above... topic' :D...

Neither. I don't use pencils - always pens.

Maybe that's why my math homework and tests are always so sloppy :)

well i don't have a favorite..because if i need a pencil i just grab whatever is close. i don't make sure its a regular pencil, or a mechanical pencil. but if i had to chose one, it would be a mechanical pencil..because..i don't know, you don't have to sharpen it.

Yep, I almost always use pens, except maybe for something in Math.

Regular of course. (Mechanical ones break easily)
