sans serif means without serifs, which are the little marks on the bases and ends of the letters - Times is a serif font, Arial is sans serif. The WikiAnswers logo at the top of this page has serifs; look at the bottom of the A, or top of the W. The text after it is sans serif -- plain.

Well, a serif is some letters with some hats and feets on them so if you say A at the top of the A their will be a hat or a line for example and at the two lines at the bottom their will be some feets, so it's like hats & feets.! They Invented this in Greece I think to make the writting a little fancy..!!! =D

And, Sans Serif is opposite the description above, it's letters without any hats & feets..so it's Bascically Plain .. :)..Hope This Helped.
