Interesting! I wonder how it learns penmanship? I didn't see a price
listed but oy, it's tempting to order one just to play with!

This was tweeted about by the Society for Editors and Proofreaders (SfEP,

The second things that struck me as funny was the language of the blog
post itself, which rather sounds like it was translated from German (the
pen is German made).
I can only imagine a conversation between a novice editor and her client,
as she offers to get out her vibrator, er, pen, to resolve a grammar
issue.
