I didn't realise that "bill" was used in the US. I thought that "check" was more common, are the different terms used regionally or just interchangeably?
The UK usage is exclusively "bill", never "check", although I also like the slang term "damage".
I remember an Italian friend calling it the "dolorosa", which is also true!
To pay we never write checks, only ever cheques.
