I wrote in detail about the letter/check I received here in my blog and posted a readable image of said documentation (not the check though...sorry). Score 1 for the consumer!"

    Miriam-Websters defines the following:

    CHEQUE chiefly British variant of CHECK

    CHECK noun
    a written order directing a bank to pay money as instructed.

    Internic.net defines the following:

    The correct spelling (by the editors) is 'check'. If, however, the user resides in the UK, then 'cheque' would be acceptable.

    Maybe instead of handing out puny cheques, a better way to make up for this would be to stop suing file swappers...
