We were just debating the plural of apocalypse here in the office ...
The sky is darkening this morning with the approach of the thunderstorms forecast for yesterday. We're located right next to a medical supply office, so I noted to my cube neighbor that we'd be OK in case of an apocalypse.
I went on to note that we'd be safe in the case of a zombie apocalypse, because there's a National Guard recruiting center less than a half-mile up the road and they're certain to have some weapons on site. And right up from there is a Kroger, so we could stock up on food and essentials.
Cube neighbor asked what I would do if the apocalypse was a nuclear one.
My reply: "I wasn't thinking about that kind. I was thinking about the fun kind."
Which brought up the question of the plural you would use. :-)
