Serif font = serious, sans serif = childish?

Ok ...
What does "sans serif" mean?  "Without serif"?

Really?

I just don't like change, but by tomorrow I won't care that they changed it.

They recently upgraded to Office/Outlook 2013 at work.  It makes dealing with email terrible.  :mad:

We just got Office 365 and it's integrated with our intranet (complete with half the links going to old intranet server and not Microsoft's sharepoint). :mad:

It's one step from Comic Sans. Which is worse than Hitler.

I especially hate the G in browser tabs.

QuoteWe loved the old logo, and we loved what Google was. Whatever it's up to, whatever its intentions, Google should want to keep our love. So in the name of love, Google, give us back our serifs. Let this sans-serif building-block refrigerator-magnet silliness be the New Coke to your Coke, the Qwikster to your Netflix, the Freedom Tower to your One World Trade. Go back to your beautiful old serifs, and we'll be that much likelier to let your self-driving cars drive us around.

That's actually the part that really bothers me.
