Thanks for the explanation.
I've long used (and preferred) san serif typefaces for screen interfaces and find them acceptable for the shorter passages associated with screen-based communications. I still switch out to serif fonts for anything that will be printed out and usually do the same for on-screen reading of books and magazines.
Sans serif on paper just looks wrong to me, unless it's some kind of heading, in which case I tend to prefer it. Maybe that shows my age. :)
No I get that as a Palatino lover
