trackin
Watching something's progress
Trackin is an informal spelling of "tracking," dropping the final g to represent casual pronunciation.
It appears in relaxed writing, social media, and song lyrics: I been trackin your location, trackin mud through the house.
The spelling signals an easygoing or vernacular tone rather than a distinct meaning from tracking.
