If you wish, but since it isn't a real word, who cares about the spelling?
In part, I josh, but not wholly.  Are there conventional spellings for
conventionally unacceptable pronunciations in unacceptable dialects, except
maybe in DARE?  Why do we need the double k?  As with Wilson, musings rather
than real questions.
