SO according to the queen's english I should pronounce .gif as "peppermintyiffterlife"?

I guess I'll have to oblige. :D
I remember caring... It was nice.

I pronounce it, "GODDAMMIT! Why won't it erase the previous frames?!? Sh!t!, now I gotta start all over! F$#%&in' C*#$%*ckin' peice of s#!t animation program! DIE! DIE!"

I may not be alone in this. At least it finally worked, after three failed attempts...
