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
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.
In American English, those pieces of paper are also known as checks. Stupid, right?
As a Canadian, I feel you. I couldn't give less of a fuck about colour but if you say 'check' to me when you're talking about a 'cheque' then we're gonna have words and none of them will be sorry.
Queue is another one that shits me when people spell it "cue" or something.
No you spell them the french way and to claim the french are right about anything is a crime against humanity.
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

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.
*Manna
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
