Are ''catch'' and ''ketch'' homonyms for ye?

If I counted correctly, I'm guest 2, 3, and 6

<<For me I myself would pronunce these words differently. The soft 'C' and the hasrh 'K' what makes me pronuce them differently. >>

The English C is only soft when it comes before E, I, or Y. Or in borrowed words like "facade", where we have lost the little squiggly line under the C but still retain the pronunciation.

So "catsup", with the A after the C, would ALWAYS have a hard "K" sound.

wow.

Sometimes. In my native dialect I pronounce them the same, in my General American/Californian accent I don't.
