This reminds me of a podcast (an episode of This American Life maybe) where one of the reporters talks about being surprised when someone mentions Nazi’s in The Sound of Music because they only ever saw up to the intermission and thought that was the entire movie.

This has become a standard on analog clocks and watches (presumably to avoid confusion with VI), but for some reason IX and XI (for 9 and 11 respectively) is fine.

Personally I’d like to see IX and IIIIIIIIIII.

ETA: I guess IX and XI are ‘fine’ because they’re not upside down, but my point still stands.

I discovered that much of my problem was the stock ink that came in it; it felt terrible to write with. I ended up ordering a Parker Jotter and replacement ink, so I'm trying both out to decide which I like better. I think I like the form of the Jotter better, but it's quite small and light. I like the weight of the rotring 600 more. I think I'm going to try both out and return one of them. Or just keep them both, I haven't quite decided yet.
