About the apocalypse

[das_vika]

Showering was nice.

To speak of something completely unrelated: the German word for apocalypse is Apokalypse. It is stressed ,Apoka'lypse.

For whatever reason, I always thought the English word is stressed apo'calypse. miraizu stresses it 'apocalypse. Surely on of us must be wrong!

Turns out we're both wrong, since the correct stress is a'pocalypse.

English pronunciation just enjoys trolling the hell out of everybody. It ... makes absolutely no sense most of the time.
