      With that logic, pencils are the sharpest pens.

        Just because you wouldn’t use a Sharpie in those instances doesn’t mean it’s not a pen. It has other uses. Writing a sign for a shop window, creating a poster by hand, or creating a protest sign. It’s used basically anywhere where the text needs to be large, clear, and visible from a distance.
