It's Ballpoint Pen Day!
Do you know what's a ballpoint pen? No, it's not a sign pen. It's more than that. If you really don't know, then let's launch into its story.
Invented by László József Bíró, a ballpoint has a very, very small balls at one end, and that is where the ink comes out. Ballpoints are very useful, like they can write on plastic bags, but other pens can't. Even though useful, more people prefer sign pens then ballpoints.
In honor of all ballpoint pens, a holiday called Ballpoint Pen Day is celebrated annually on June 10th.
This holiday is celebrated on June 10th, because ballpoint pens were copyrighted on this day, in 1943, Before that, people used fountain pens, or pencils, to write sign or scribble. “Since ballpoints are pretty useful, I would like to try it out myself today,” says Tigger.
