What about cheque as apposed to the American spelling of check?

Answer 1

I suppose I have to read this question in tandem with your earlier question on what people prefer - the American or the Canadian way of spelling.
As others have already pointed out in response to your earlier question, it is how you are taught that mainly influences your preferences in spelling and pronunciation. Check versus cheque is another example of the American and British versions. There are several such differences, like metre/meter, centre/center, favour/favor, neighbour/neighbor, etc. between the British and American spellings.
In pronunciation of the same word, one can notice wide differences between the British, the American, the Australian and the Asian versions!
Each of us would probably fiercely defend the spelling and pronunciation we are used to!

Answer 2

So? The Brits spell many words that end in -or with -our endings. E.g., "color" vis-a-vis "colour." The amazing thing is that we dropped the "u" in America, since we brought the English language over here FROM Britain. That's a puzzler!

"Check" vs. "cheque" is another such puzzler.

Answer 3

Here in the US, it's 'check', but 'cheque' is used for American Express

Answer 4

well, in french and spanish, they spell check like this- cheque.
Americans of course needed to americanize it, so they made it easier for us to spell and say........ I didn't really get your question, so i hope i answered it right!!!?????

Answer 5
