Note
A conjunction turned into a countable noun, and pluralized like any ordinary noun: one if, several ifs. In this use the noun belongs to informal speech, where it stands for an uncertainty, condition or doubt, as in a plan that rests on too many ifs. The same plural also serves initialisms such as interactive fiction or intermediate frequency, so context decides which is meant.
