CHECK - US English

CHEQUE - UK English

Unfortunately I can quote direct from my UK bank statement.
When you ring up and say "why was such and such a cheque unpaid?" they say "because there were insufficient funds in the account".

French term (edited): ch�que sans provisions

is defined in Webster as

A check that is dishonored on presentation because of insufficient funds; "issuing a bad check is a form of larceny".

French term (edited): ch�que sans provisions
