Well, I guess the entire oil field is illiterate because no one, repeat no one, spells it with a âkâ 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!
