    You know what I hate? Epoch.

    In American English epoch is pronounced almost exactly the same as the word epic. eh-puhk

    In British English the word is pronounced as "eee pok." Which is correct.

    One of the only things Brits are correct about. That and the spelling of the word 'grey.'

        I'm sorry but for the purposes of this bit I'm actually racist against Greeks and as such I reject anything they say or think. Please pretend that I've said something mildly offensive about modern Greek culture, politics, or economy as I'm currently too tired to think of anything funny. Thank you and have a pleasant day.
