'''Pencils''' are writing implements generally made of [[wood]] or [[plastic]] with a [[graphite]] center used to make marks on a surface.  The graphite core of a pencil is commonly known as the [[lead]], because early pencils used lead rather than graphite.  Pencil grades vary from soft (B) to hard (H), the standard grade being HB. A typical pencil can write 45,000 [[word]]s or draw a line 35 [[mile]]s long.
