Back in the DOS days, my company Genus Microprogramming sold the GIF Toolkit and we pronounced it "JIF" given the inventor of the format pronounced it that way. Besides, Alex Trebek says so, and that's that. https://www.theatlantic.com/tech...

It's Jif.... the creator of the file type said so. I don't know why there's even a debate.

The story goes that at the time the devs working on the project would say “choosy developers choose gifs,” and reference to the old Jif peanut butter slogan (“choosy Moms choose Jif.”
