Yes, you're right, jazzy - they've got to Chambers too!

It's sheer laziness, though. I bet people who use the term "sanserif" have no idea what a serif is.

I'm one of those people who have no idea what a serif is.

However, I do know what" bumptious" and "condescending" mean.

Hi rusty
That's a little unkind! Have you ever used the term "sanserif" yourself?

There's a famous Guardian April Fool about the islands of "San Seriffe" - see here:

Sanserif it is then, and thanks for the help. Sounds like a distinctly dodgy clue to me.

Thank for that link Chrise. I hadn't heard this before. A great story. Better even than than the BBC' s spaghetti-growing programme.
