It's checks in American English.

That's true.

Cheques out

That checks out, once you check that task off I'll send your check, just make sure you check it before depositing it.

EDIT: ChatGPT did a better job at this than I did.

In a game of chess, the king was in check, so the player paused to check his phone, where he received a check for his latest freelance project, after which he decided to check off his to-do list and check his coat at the restaurant's check-in counter.

It seems to be fair to use the American spelling, as everyone else doesn't use them.
