I wrote a cheque out to someone for £42 and wrote 'fourty' instead of 'forty'.
Will the cheque clear as normal or will it get rejected because of an unintentional spelling mistake?

Those sort of spelling mistakes have always gone through okay when I have paid them in.:heartsmil When you find people who not only tolerate your quirks but celebrate them with glad cries of "Me too!" be sure to cherish them. Because these weirdos are your true family.0

As long as the amount in words and figures is the same, it'll be fine - the banks aren't looking for spelling mistakes!
In fact for such a small cheque, it's unlikely that it's be inspected for technicalities at allEarly retired - 18th December 2014

This will be recorded on your credit file for the next 10 years, any future attempt to write a book or qualify as an English teacher will be thwarted.....
Don't worry you'll be fine."We act as though comfort and luxury are the chief requirements of life, when all that we need to make us happy is something to be enthusiastic about” – Albert Einstein0
