BIROME

Hello,
Today, I wanted to share a short story that I told to a skype friend yesterday...

In my country the BIC ballpoint Pen is known as BIROME, its name came from the society between two business men, Mr. BIRO and Mr. Méyne, one of these man was hungarian and the other one I think was Argentinean, but the hungarian man was the true inventor of the ballpoint pen. Many people say He was argentinean, but they are wrong, he only got the argentinean citizenship and was living in my country during his invention. So, as you probably see, the name is the juntion between the two surnames, BIRO+MEyne=BIROME, hehe.
Thank you for correcting this small writing.
