I just read that "fountain pens" (that's what dict.leo calls them) are not common in the USA. Is that true? I.e. you don't use these: and thus one cannot buy ink in the US, e.g. Is that true? The weird name "fountain pen" makes me think they're not very common. But since you live there maybe you can tell me. Thanks.

When you made the title of this thread "to all native americans" I thought you were going to start a rant about American Indians or something. Anyway, fountain pens are available, but they're not commonly used. If you want to get one in America, you have to hunt around office supply stores a bit.

Okay, thanks, that's good to hear. I don't like pens as I want to be able to use an ink eraser. They sell pens that erase (and that have an eraser) as well.

I second what RS3D said, my dad bought a pen with an eraser just a few weeks ago. Works great. Also there are 6 different cities in the US named Ithaca, you'd have to be more specific than that. Although my first guess is Ithaca, New York?
