very quaint, and a total non starter for non USA folks. Our UK Cheques were never designed for mailing to upstart countries who cant spell 
Cheque is the standard spelling in British English, where it has been used since the earlier 19th century

Actually, that's wrong. The check was invented in the US in 1681. In 1762 the first printed check's where in the UK in 1762
So the US wins and the term check is correct.
