If you truly believe it, record that belief in ink, not some tentative pencil scratchings which can be erased.
Man up, indelible ink is indelible.

1. PEN AND PENCIL

Pencil originally referred to a paintbrush with a fine, tapered end, and can be traced back to the Latin penicillus, for paintbrush. Pen, on the other hand, goes back to Latin penna, for feather, which is what the original pens were.
