Me, I think it is because, since Americans don't know how to spell "cheque", it takes them 4 to 8 weeks to work out what one is!

Its normally 21 days in canada for USA checks to be held. Of course my bank waived that many years ago but because of Netverifier, they are now gun-shy of all my US checks and are holding them for 3 weeks.
