Why
examiners (or teachers) use red ink to check homework or examination papers?
PROF WAQAR HUSSAIN
It is reported
to be started in the 1700s by clerks and accountants correcting ledgers using
red ink in their quills, and then teachers adopted this practice. The reason
behind using red ink was to see teacher’s comment easily on the page of student’s
writing as student write in blue or black. And red coloured remarks or markings
get prominence.
