Serious question guys.
well, you see

salsa is a way of dancing.
Salsa is spanish for "sauce" so it can be anything, not just hot sauce. i.e. "salsa de tomate" means "tomato sauce" (or ketchup if you're weird).
Salsa is used more for homemade sauces.
Hot Sauce is used for the bottled version.
hot sauce generally isn't chunky
All the salsa i've had (like the Dorito's salsa dip) is more tangy tomato and chunky, while Hot Sauce is more spicy and smooth.
Arizona taught me that
This is Hot Sauce
This is Salsa
However, like Danny I understand that salsa = sauce and can include something as silly as Ketchup.
actually since salsa means sauce, that means the difference between hot sauce and sauce is one is hot.
One is a jam and the other is a jelly.
Salsa I tasted has been sweet or cold. Hot sauce is... well... hot.
In America at least, if you ask for salsa, there is a CLEAR EXPECTATION of receiving a spicy tomato-based sauce, often including ingredients such as onions, peppers, and cilantro. Salsa is typically used as a dip. If you ask for hot sauce, you expect to receive a sauce made from chili peppers, salt, and vinegar. Hot sauce is typically eaten with meats.
