Thing is, Track-tion runs on tracks and it has plenty of traction, so it's effectively a combination of the two words. On the same line as, say, Iron Awe is a mixture of Iron Ore and Awe. But not once have I heard anyone criticize that name. Basically, if there's no hate on Iron Awe, I don't see the hate on Track-tion.

But then again, this same discussion hates on Griffon's name purely for being "misspelled" even though it isn't, so I can't be too surprised. Griffin and Griffon (as well as Gryphon, BTW) are all perfectly acceptable ways of spelling the mythical beast's name.
