So, any thoughts on "taking a rain check or cheque"?

Giving a ticket for a future event, when the original was rained off.
I believe.


... and as it originated in America, where they are unable to cope with
complex spelling patterns, so change them to suit their purpose (gray,
color, etc.) it would oriinally have been 'check' even though they meant
'cheque'.

I don't know if that's true. If it is for a ''ticket' rather than a
'cheque', would their misspelling of 'cheque' be relevant here?
