Default Ketchup of Catsup?

Which is it?

EDIT (June 13/09 3:19 pm) Catsup seems to be WAY behind in the poll so its obvious most of you (actually all of you except rockstar and me) don't understand the benefits of catsup.

To illustrate this, I defer to the old saying that a picture is worth a thousand words...

Not all "h" sounds in english are a pronounced H, like hotel or hostel. Since the origin of herb is French it is silent.

By your logic we should say honor, heir and hour with a pronounced H which would sound hilarious.

From Wiki answers "herb" comes from the Latin word "herba" which means grass. This means that the English word "herb" probably probably grew in the English language without French introduction. Beside, the British are famous for having frenchified spellings in their language (like 'colour' and 'aeroplane'), so it would stand to logic that if it had French origins, it would be pronounced "erb" in the UK. It most definitely is not. Therefore, the "herb" we use in the English language is "herb" and not " 'erb" especially since the American language is rooted in British English and not the other way around. It has always been pronounced "herb" in the UK ever since the beginning of time.

I disagree. I find taht Washroom and bathroom are widely used here, but in the States you get a lot more "Restroom".

Which is silly because not withstanding pooping at work, the washroom is used primarily for washing, and not in fact resting.
