Cheque v. Check

[Ken Gordon]

It really only depends on where you live - to Canadian and British eyes, 
"check" normally looks like a verb and "cheque" like a noun, except on 
those few occasions when the verb is nouned, as in "I'll do a check on 
that." or when it's used in combination with, for example, "up".

And for those of us who have been putting up with "check" in financial 
programs (or is it programmes?) for years, this does seem like a bit of 
justice. But certainly, those who live in the US should have the choice.
