Okay, so my ignorance is really starting to show and I'm quickly discovering that I know far less than I would like to think I do. Anyone can get old pens from a relative, buy a pen because it's pretty, dole out for gorgeous colored ink, but I'm learning that it's almost the entire extent of my fountain pen knowledge!! I have bought a few third tier pens, some new from Levenger and over paid dearly for a Sheaffer on flea bay, so I ask you this: Is it just me or are all of the acronyms thrown around here confusing to anyone else or am I just so uneducated that they don't make sense to me? I finally had to ask someone what TWSBI stood for as I thoutht it was an acronym...no clue it was a brand!! There are many more, but I didn't find a place here that would describe such things. Did I miss something? Guess I am still a neophyte. Any suggestions?
