Digital Pen Vibrates To Indicate Bad Spelling, Grammar and Penmanship

Zothecula writes "Use digital technology long enough and you start to become dependent upon it for such mundane tasks as spell checking. That means when you pick up a garden variety ballpoint pen you're back in dictionary and 'I before E except after C' territory. The creators of the Lernstiftdigital pen hope to bring handwriting into the 21st century by having the pen vibrate to indicate when the writer makes spelling and grammatical errors or exhibits poor penmanship."

Wrong feedback

Wait, are they trying to discourage bad spelling and grammar, or encourage it?

Awful Idea

Ok, lets say this somehow actually works... you spell something wrong, while writing with a PEN... now what?

Depends on where/how you hold the pen. I tend to hold it with my critch, cratch, er cruth, crotch! Anyone gotta cigarette?

Great, a slashdot grammar troll...
