Came in with that first paragraph this is mentioned on my clipboard to highlight how silly this is
For one, it’s pronounced identically to the word epic in most cases. I’m going to guess that nine times out of ten, if you used epoch in a sentence, most people would assume you’re saying epic anyway, regardless if that makes sense in context.
No. It’s not. It’s pronounced ee-pokh or ep-okh. Anyone pronouncing it like “epic” has got the vowel sound entirely wrong.
It’s apparently the American pronunciation. Though, half our population can’t read anyway, so I’ll just keep saying it the right way. Or maybe we just go back to the original Greek, Epochē.

So apparent nobody actually pronounces it like that. All things written on the internet are fact, clearly.
