I think it's important to distinguish between cheek and smarminess.
"Check" is the US spelling, "cheque" is used by most of the remainder
of the English-speaking world.  It's amusing to some of us to see the
Commonwealth spelling in an application developed (mostly) in the US.

Why do you feel you should change your previous entries?

More to the point - I notice that on my machine, the spelling is as
you describe (i.e. "cheque") for account names, but I set them up that
way.  The "Print check" option uses the US spelling.  I'm using
1.8.9.  Is this a 1.8.10 thing?
