Neither are _correct_, both are slang and a new word, but
English is good at that,

represent via a delta, would be traditional,

but 'deltify' sounds nicer.

*1* David says "deltify" and Nico calls it "deltafy".  I am not
a native speaker so I cannot tell, but which one is correct?
Nico is correct
Au contraire.  The common *pronunciation* may be 'delta-fy', but the correct
spelling should be 'deltify'.

Ainsi soit-il alors.

I'm not a native english speaker either so I defer to anyone with better 
english knowledge.
