Sorry Rossable. That remark didn't make you sound any smarter. Serifs shouldn't be used for large bodies of text anyway. Probably should have kept that one to yourself...

the purpose of the serif is to lead the eye from letter to letter.
it has been proven that it is easier to read larger bodies of serif text because of this device. it is also stated that when reading for long periods of time, serif fonts strain the eyes less than sans-serif fonts do.

due to sans-serifs popularity on the web the serif is being forgotten by designers and typographers for it's intended function and is currently being used more for visual style than reading ease.

should have kept that one to yourself... too right!
to further rossable's retort...
Pick up any paperback or hardcover – the vast majority will be set in serif.
