On holiday in Spain at the moment. Sat by the pool, I swatted a wasp earlier. Now I've just watched a big ant come along and drag it about 20ft across the pool terrace, vertically up a 5ft stone wall, and down the other side. It has disappeared with it into the undergrowth.

Amazing creatures. That wasp was at least ten times his size.

Just saw a green parakeet on my bird feeder.

Not seen one in my garden before.

Just learned that GIF is supposed to be pronounced "Jif", like the peanut butter.

I refuse to say it like that.

It's the correct way. The creator said it should be pronounced that way, and he has the clout in this matter tbh

Cats are suicidal too when it comes to roads.

I kid you not, they stand on the pavement waiting for a car to come along, then dash across the road as if they are on some sort of dare.

Shattering when you find out you’ve spent 20 years saying it ‘wrong’, might as well just stick with it by that point :lol:

I don't know a single person who pronounces it 'jif'.

It's only logical to assume the pronunciation would be with the same G you get in Graphics Interchange Format.

Yep.

And, as Santi said, my entire life it's been GIF.

JIF, really?
