I hate this argument, that's literally what the creators of the format called it. Names of things don't always follow the rules of English.
Names of things don't have to follow "the rules of english" to change and morph with who is using them.
Acting like there is any immutable qualities to any language or word is kinda silly.
Currently, with the common opinion split pretty well, the correct answer for how to say it is "'gif' or 'jif'". Call it whichever you want.
