My mother told me when I was still in single digits that ketch is a type of ship.
a sailing vessel rigged fore and aft on two masts, the larger, forward one being the mainmast and the after one, stepped forward of the rudderpost, being the mizzen or jigger.

I have come to the point where I don't look down on my local or any West Indian dialect. I've lived and studied with them all in Tittieland. One has none on the other.
So let's appreciate our differences - the beauty of it.
Extra riguonal folk are intrigued but we decry each other

Duj is very comfortable in his own skin - see if you can do the NYT long crossword puzzle and get back to me.
He does pronounce the h in the, three, etc. - unlike someone else doing commentary. Having taught remedial English for seventeen years, I prefer when someone speaks their native dialect rather than pretend to be speaking English.
I say ketch all di time - so freaking what?

why do you speak English , instead of your GT dialect.
I understand what you are saying as a teacher once told the class to speak more bajan, but the same teacher also told me and some of my class mate that english was a foreign language to us and we would never pass GCEs in English.
how did you response to this?

TC, is Chrissy from GT?
Without reading the posts I knew that KETCH was the word Dujon was called on.... In a very very faraway land, hanging on to my roots, "ketch" is used in my daily multi texting to my children (born and raised here and have never been to the Caribbean, except via cricket and my stories of our wonderful culture) spread across the globe!! What is even better, my spouse, a foreigner, uses 'ketch' as if we have the licence to replace "proper" English words with whatever West Indian words I provide!!! We call it our VOAB....
Leff Duj wid ketch!!!

The Scots, Irish and England all have dialects. Every country has one

English is my first language - I never learned Guyanese dialect in my home. I learned that on the streets of GT and NA.

By the way I taught remedial English in Jamaica as a foreign language. In 17 years one of my students received a 2 at CXC - everyone else got a 1.
You see when I came to live here I had to learn Jamaican and fast.

the individual is allowed to commentate in local language
not an issue

Suddenly, he's able to do it! How come? At the post match conclusion of the three commentators, I was flummoxed at JD's mastering catch!
