Per 
SCP-XXXX in its current containment case as of 08/17/20██.
Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Safe
Head Researcher: Dr. Wender
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is to be kept in a case of any material to ensure the object's safety. It can be stored in any trusted Doctor's office.1
Description: SCP-XXXX resembles a rosewood pen. When using SCP-XXXX, test subjects seem to be forced to write with improper grammar. Even when provided with a dictionary, test subjects are unable to spell some words correctly, adhere to basic sentence structure and syntax.
A specific pattern of how SCP-XXXX changes grammar and spelling is yet to be determined.2 SCP-XXXX doesn't affect subjects when writing in a foreign language, as testing has indicated.3
SCP-XXXX had minor defects (such as not being able to be retracted) and was therefore classified to be a substandard good from company [DATA EXPUNGED]. According to a local citizen of [DATA EXPUNGED], Arizona, SCP-XXXX "fell out of a dumpster truck while said truck drove through [his] home town. It looked nice and [he] wanted to keep it." After using it multiple times and not being able to write proper sentences4, Jared ██████5 contacted good friend and Foundation worker Evelyn Hensley which resulted in containment of SCP-XXXX.
Using SCP-XXXX has not caused any test subjects to lose their aptitude for spelling or their ability to form grammatically correct sentences. Several test subjects have requested to not use SCP-XXXX again as, according to the subjects, the experiments caused severe migraines, lasting up to 2 days.
Do further testing on apparent migraines caused by using SCP-XXXX. -Dr. Wender
As of 08/16/20██, SCP-XXXX has a slight crack on its wooden body after being dropped by Dr. Roth who "Just wanted to take a look at it". It has been transferred to Dr. Vance's office.
Addendum XXXX-Containment: Note by Dr. Wender
Dr. Roth is prohibited from keeping SCP-XXXX in his office. I cannot believe how carelessly some staff handles the contained entities. Just outragous!
Addendum XXXX-1: Excerpt from Jared ██████'s notes.

Addendum XXXX-2: Excerpt from Test Log XXXX-04-01, dated ██/██/20██
Test Subject: D-142
Conducter: Dr. Wender
Method: Dr. Wender dictates words and sentences to D-142 who is asked to write them down, using SCP-XXXX. D-142 is provided with a common English dictionary.
<Begin Log>
Dr. Wender: The first word I'd like you to write is "Detail".
D-142: (Writes the first word.)6
Dr. Wender: Next I'll have you write "Pencil".
D-142: (Writes, then crosses out the written word. Repeated 2 times.) Wait, why can't I –
Dr. Wender: Any problems there?
D-142: I'm not stupid, okay? I just can't spell "Pencil"! (Shows piece of paper.)7
Dr. Wender: It's okay, just continue writing. Please write the sentence "My name is ████████ ████8".
D-142: (Writes, suddenly puts SCP-XXXX down in rage.) What the hell! What are you guys doing to me? Am I on drugs?
<End Log>
Note: D-142 has since refused to participate in any further testing with SCP-XXXX.
Addendum XXXX-3: Testing of different languages
Test Subjects: D-1113 (English), D-305 (Brazilian), D-72 (German)
Conducter: Dr. Wender
Method: Test subjects are provided with a dictionary in English, Portugues, and German. They choose 5 words and 2 sentences from each dictionary and write them down, using SCP-XXXX.
Observations: Subjects' spelling and grammar weren't affected when writing in a foreign language. Even though D-72 is learned in the English language, they were able to spell all English words correctly.
- D-1113 correctly formed 6 words and 0 sentences in their native and 15 words and 6 sentences in a foreign language.
- D-305 correctly formed 9 words and 0 sentence in their native and 15 words and 6 sentences in a foreign language.
- D-72 correctly formed 7 word and 0 sentences in their native and 15 words and 6 sentences in a foreign language.
Addendum XXXX-4: Repeatedly writing the same word or sentence
Test Subjects: D-526, D-293
Conducter: Dr. Wender
Method: Test subjects write the same word as often as it has letters9, using SCP-XXXX. This is then repeated with sentences, the amount of times being the word count.10 They are provided with a common English dictionary. 40 words and 5 sentences are written.
Observations: The following are excerpts of results for the same word in chronological order, as written by D-526 and D-293.
Conclusion: D-526 and D-293 show similar mistakes in syntax. They share the same structure for a sentence a total of 7 times. They share the same spelling for a word a total of 29 times.Note: We should repeat this test with 5 test subjects. -Dr. Wender
