Talk:Marker pen

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hi, I find this page interesting, because the usage of "marker" and "felt-tipped pen" vary througout the world. For example, if you put this page in German it will come up as Felt tipped pen, but of course the word in German. I find this kind of cool, how one things has two completly different names used the same in different parts of the world. Anyway, hope you enjoyed this like I did. Thanks

Some comic genius has screwed with the page and changed all the "pens" to "penis" and also "tipped" to "tittied". Oh how we laughed, I've changed most back, but have no html skills for the link.

Thanks. You can click the history tab to view the page history and from there you can restore a previous revision of the article with much less effort. Shinobu (talk) 16:18, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Magic Marker

In what countries does the term "magic marker" refer to a color-changing pen? In the U.S., it is a brand (owned by Bic) of normal black markers. Tlesher 17:43, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Magic Marker

Has "Magic Marker" become a genericized trademark in the United States? I might just be that I am wierd, but all of my friends and I have always called any type of felt-tipped marker a "Magic Marker". That would would not include permenant markers, which we call "Sharpies". —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jetset59 (talk • contribs) 16:21, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
