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.
