People arguing over spelling in a language like English...
-
People arguing that another dialect is incorrect are, and will always be, incorrect.
All dialects are valid.
Both paycheck and paycheque are spelled correctly, in their respective contexts.

Anglush* although the fact that we aren't saxophones speaking sexish is a tragedy

10th GPD country tells people how to spell Gehaltsscheck
-
We just stopped pretending we wanted to be French. The spelling is so much better now (ok it's still shit)
-
cheque is the british spelling, and how we civilised Commonwealth countries spell it
-
Check is the original spelling in the English language.[4][5] The newer spelling, cheque (from the French), is believed to have come into use around 1828
-
That sounds fantastique.
-
Right, like people who are still a century out of being curbstomped like France

You sound like an Australian at McDonald’s correcting everyone on the pronounciation of ‘file(T) o fish’ like they invented it themselves.

Hey in what part of britain does flour rhyme with colour?

It was just the other day I wrote in a Canadian thread, how cheque vs check was the only spelling difference that made me irrationally angry at anyone using the latter in a Canadian financial context.
-
Wait I don't understand why it would be check
Check means to check something, or to check something is correct
Cheque is a piece of paper used to transfer money. In the olden days you didn't get the money put straight into a bank account you literally got a bankers cheque which you payed in. So it was literally a "pay cheque"
Who spells it paycheck? I assume that's Americans. But it says something that even Canada doesn't spell it like that.

Queue is another one that shits me when people spell it "cue" or something.

Usually mana only comes back when you're resting.
Paychecks are more like rage points or the action points in WoW that only accumulate while doing other actions (ie working).
-
Depends in some games you get manafrom actions
-
Depends on whether Op is a Capitalist or a Proletariat I guess.
It sure as shit doesn't accumulate for me at rest.
-
Yeah, this dude has it wrong. Mana isn't the paycheck, because Mana is basically just magical stamina. If you're overworked you're oom.
A paycheck would be much closer to the end of dungeon loot, with the dungeon itself being work.
And if you're oom, you're staying at home, resting. Because you couldn't clear the dungeon.

At work, I've been lobbying long and hard to have our language selection in the user interface specify "Traditional English" and "Simplified English". I haven't succeeded yet, but I'm not giving up.
-
You spell it like the French, who are people who needlessly add a bunch of letters to any simple, singular sound. Hence, wrong. :P
-
Thats bold as fuck considering the paycheque spelling is derived from fr*nch
-
Canuck forgot to say sorry. Take off, eh.

... ya hoser

Only a real Canadian would point this out
