In .NET, "catch" is typically used for exceptions, while "handles"
is typically used for events.

While I might find less point in quibbling over the semantics than
John, if we're going to argue about common usage, John's point is
correct. "Catch" is not at all a common term used to describe event
handling.

I wrote "catch an event", so what do you think I am referring to? An event or an exception? Mind the context. Too unambigious to misunderstand.
