Lol, how odd, like you, I assumed it was 'G'if too.

The announcement caused shock and outrage on Twitter, where users reacted with horror. "I refuse to accept this," said one, while another tweeted "My life has no meaning any more".

Bit dramatic!

check the meaning of "jiffy"

anyways i always use the term in german "gif" with hard spoken "g" but i'll note the desire of the Creator in the future
