The word is 'Cheque'


Leave it up to Disney to make such a terrible spelling gaffe. It's spelled "cheque", not "check". Idiots.

Do you live under a rock? Or are you purposefully trying to insult Americans? "check" has been the official US spelling for who knows how many years.

Besides, I noticed that IMDB says the UK title of this movie is "Blank Cheque". Why are you complaining?

The Limeys spent 1,000 years illiterate of their own language, and the few who could write made up their own spelling so it wasn't until the American era that ANY spelling became standardized and Americans consciously and rationally chose simpler forms of spelling.

English spelling heritage is to make up any spelling you want. Americans decided on a standard, and you Limeys have never really caught up.

In USA it's 'check'. 'Cheque' is used most everywhere else though, but its an American film released for primarily an American audience.

You're a troll.

No matter how you spell it, this movie still sucks!!!

Both Cheque and check are correct spelling. Disney understands that American English and British English spell certain words differently and they adopted to it for this movie. So in this case, Disney is the smart one.

But the fact of the matter is the Americans changed the spelling and since as its the ENGLISH language cheque is correct.

reply

Nope, in the early 18th century, spelling of the ENGLISH language was inconsistent. Many words had two acceptable British spellings. For example, William Shakespeare used BOTH color and colour, centre and center. Webster was the one who started the American standard as part of spelling reform. In Britain, those who preferred the Anglo-French spellings won out. In regards to the word check, outside of the world of finances, even the UK prefers the check spelling.

It's the American spelling. You only use the "cheque" spelling overseas in Europe.
