Our modern understanding of the word unfortunately has CHANGED ( much like we use the word — ‘gay’ today ).

It now means an event involving destruction or damage on an awesome or catastrophic scale.

Not for me. I'll never use "apocalypse" in that way--just as I never use "alibi" to mean an excuse or "deter" to mean dissuade. And I hardly ever use "gay" in the way it's usually used today.
