Hey! Czech out the etymology! According to the Wikipedia page, it's not an American simplification but an English complication! Until 1826, it had been spelled "check", but the spelling was changed to match the French. The word came from French, Latin, Arab, and Persion and is related to the other definition. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cheque _______________________________________________ gnucash-user mailing list [email protected] To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user ----- Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.
