That 38-per-year number seems ludicrously high. The last time I wrote a check was five years ago, for an earnest money deposit, and I don't know anyone who writes them much more often than I do other than a few elderly people, who still use them as their primary means of payment.
Source on that one? I've found that people outside of the tech bubble use a paper check at the very least once a year and most likely once a month. I have seen plenty of apartments, renters, even a mortgage company just a few years ago that required payment still in paper checks in the USA.
I'm going to assume your suggestion is anecdotal. It is certainly in decline but it's still widely used.
