According to dictionary.com, you can spell it one of 3 ways. Ketchup, catchup, and catsup.

It's one of those, you say potatoes I say pototoes. (wonder if I even spelled that right!?)

I noticed that Cindy spelt it "catsup" in one of today's posts. I spell it "ketchup". People who spell it "catsup" are just weird.
(just kidding)

it seems "Ketchup" was the name for the first mass-produced American version (by Heinz), with other variants taken by other manufacturers.

pretty fascinating site about the history of this asian fish sauce here.

Catsup, But I learned things prop'ly :p

Really, there was a book when I was little, where the animals (I gather it was a series) were personified, but you know, not like in fables. they were cats that did cat things and dogs that did dog things.. and a bunny...

AH!! Bunnicula!! that was it.. the Bunnicula series, the cat was terrified during one of the halloween books because she found a bottle labeled catsup, and thought it meant CAT SOUP.. I just couldn't eat catsup for a year!
