That's true.
"God, do they still use those? I haven't seen a cheque in 20 years"
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.

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.
