PSA: Epoch is pronounced Epic

It's not E-pock. Look it up if you don't believe me

Did you watch the announcement stream?

Fake news, my man. There’s impressionable kids in this forum!

Just another word Americans pronounce differently than Brits. Your PSA does not apply to all.

I have never heard it pronounced epic anywhere it has been used

It's clearly pronounced E-potch.

Oh wow.

I always thought it was pronounced E-pooch

As in:

Its obviously epock

It's EE-pok, it's deceiving a period of time not how remarkable it is.

It's not E-pock. Look it up if you don't believe me

Yanks always rebelling against the Brits aye.

It's eee-pock

Supposedly 'epic' is the American pronunciation and 'eepock' is the British. I've only ever heard 'eepock' and I'm from the USA, so I'm not sure who's using the other.

No, it really isn’t.

In portuguese Epoch is Época (É as e from Bed, po as po from Tempo, Ca as Ca from Carlos)

Epic is Épico (É as e from Bed, pi as pi from Pitbull, Co as Co from Codename)

I know in Britain they have a different accent ,but, to say Epoch as Epic I dont think so...
