Okay, okay. I'll do it.
According to Webster's,
Main Entry: ketch·up
Pronunciation: 'ke-ch&p, 'ka-
Function: noun
Etymology: Malay kechap fish sauce
: a seasoned pureed condiment usually made from tomatoes
Catsup is listed as a variant of "ketchup", so I guess the more proper spelling is ketchup.
Yes, I know. But don't go overboard. A small cash donation will be sufficient.
