Franking is spelled according to the rules of spelling. For example, we spell pinicking with a k and we also have frolicking, trafficking, mimicking, etc.

This is because when the letter c is followed by an i (or e), it is pronounced with an s sound: cent vs can’t; cell vs cull, etc.

While there is an enormous amount of manipulation of language on the part of leftists, this is not that.

Well, I guess the entire oil field is illiterate because no one, repeat no one, spells it with a “k” unless they are a noob from the liberal indoctrination center, i.e. university or government agency.

Ok, after several searches I found evidence for your assertion.

I can see spelling frac without a k, but fracking ought to be spelled with a k to be consistent with normal usage.

However, I see that controversy has entered this otherwise innocuous situation, a controversy which could have been avoided had oil industry members known how to spell properly, but there you have it: it is now an issue and henceforth I will have to just spell it fracturing so as to offend neither myself nor non-leftists.

Very interesting fact; thanks for bring it to my attention!

We could also note the tremendous reported temperatures attributed to climate change, have corresponded directly to the recent increased incidences of transsexualism.
