So what is the plural of apocalypse?

I don't know what made me think of it today, but for some reason I thought of the scene where Riley's telling Buffy how things have changed since he found out she was the Slayer and one of the things that he says is "I want to know what the plural of the word apocalypse is" (or something to that effect). So I looked it up, and apocalypse doesn't have a plural form.

Okay, I'll stop rambling now.

Apocalypses. Just add an s at the end.

Three volume dictionaries are the bomb. They don't have to worry about saving space. Though why the other freakin dictionaries couldn't print -s to show the plural is beyond my understanding.
