It may amuse you to know, I am told by my lawyer partners that a really astonishing proportion of crazy people who write to you really do use green ink. It seems astonishing to imagine that there really could be a correlation between sanity and favoured ink colour.

Yikes, did anyone else notice the amount of green on this site?

I was just noticing that myself. Withdrawing my request to change the color scheme.

I should be astonished, but I'm not. A statistically unlikely proportion of the autistics I know have a strong preference for the color purple (and I don't think I know any NTs with that preference), so the idea that color preference is a function of neurotype doesn't seem too odd to me.

As an Asperger's person who loves purple (and dislikes green) this thread is quite amusing.

This is the first place I have ever seen anyone say that green ink writers use actual green ink. Added to RW!
