I learned all this stuff in school in the 60s. I only remember it all
because the geography teacher was a prat who worried more about the
colour ink you used than what you wrote. My blue pen had run out of
ink so I'd written an essay in black ink. I got a zero simply because
black ink must only be used for teacher's dictation. On the other
hand, at least I remember something!

Was he a former civil servant? I have vague recollections of rules
about who could use various coloured inks.

Back in the 60's, only the Accountants and Auditors could use a green pen on
