I'm sure you can measure sugar, right?

So you're already used to other words where su makes the same sound it makes in cat•sup.

That isn't the part I was confused about. "Cats" and "Ketch" sound very different. "Catch" and "Ketch" are also different.

Think of the way you say "caterpillar" rather than the way you say "cats".
