You're angry because the author tried to make the library searchable by removing a few letters..?
And they didn't even come up with the gfx shorthand for graphics, its admittedly an old one and barely seen nowadays... But it's always been the sister to sfx/sound effects

- webmaven 2y agoAlternatively, "Special Effects". Also VFX/Visual Effects, etc., one supposes. Although that would have it expand to "Graph Effects" (hmm, that could be an interesting library), or "Graphic Effects". But GFX expanding to simply "Graphics" has a history going back at least to the early 1990s, and even further: https://books.google.com/books?id=Jy8EAAAAMBAJ&pg=PA35&dq=%22gfx%22+%22graphics%22&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjjh4Dnp6yJAxXjODQIHVbmHyoQ6AF6BAgOEAM#v=onepage&q=%22gfx%22%20%22graphics%22&f=true https://books.google.com/books?id=Jy8EAAAAMBAJ&pg=PA35&dq=%2...
