Apparently, reading stuff in Comic Sans rather then Ariel makes things easier to remember.

Well, that that which you have think about more is easier to keep in mind is nothing new. Which surprises me is the fact that Comic Sans is considered harder to read than Arial.

This also doesn't make Sans any more likeable for me. I'll still hate it.

No, Comic Sans is easier to read.

I also like it more than Arial. Comic Sans has a seriffed capital I.

Comic Sans is a nice font.

I never got this irrational hatred for a font, I didn't even know what it was until I heard people on the Internet's virulent hatred of it.

It's probably mostly memetic, though it is genuinely hated in the graphic design/type communities.

Will this means that those who try to ban it will stop. Also, will the font "I hate Comic Sans" give similar result.

If a chicken crosses the road and nobody else is around to see it, does the road move beneath the chicken instead?
