I was at the Half Price Bookstore the other day, went to their graphic novel/comics section and made a point of checking about that letter "I" needing serifs when used as a pronoun.
While all of Marvel and DC used it with serifs, half the other published works, including Persepolis and Maus, did not use serifs so even though it's touted as an 'amateur' mistake, I believe it's not as rigidly held a rule as has been implied.
So There, grammar Nazis (or serif Nazis, or whatever). I will continue to use san serif I's for my pronouns.
(Rant over. There, I feel better now).
