Strangely enough, I have to agree with enile on all of those spellings, except for "programme" (I always spell it "program"), and I'm from Massachusetts. Go figure.
And, as far as I'm concerned, it's "cheque" if it's one of the monetary type, "check" if it's a pattern or a verb, and "Czech" if it's... well, you know what *that's* for.

Now here I have to disagree. I use zeds fairly frequently - well, whenever they're called for, anyway, which can't really be called frequently...
