“So what if I can’t spell Armageddon? It’s not the end of the world”

“So what if I can’t spell Armageddon? It’s not the end of the world” is a jocular one-line saying that has been printed on many images. The joke was posted on Twitter on April 3, 2010 and is from Canadian comedian Stewart Francis.

According to the Book of Revelation, Armageddon (/ˌɑːrməˈɡɛdən/, from Ancient Greek: Ἁρμαγεδών Harmagedōn, Late Latin: Armagedōn) is the prophesied location of a gathering of armies for a battle during the end times, variously interpreted as either a literal or a symbolic location. The term is also used in a generic sense to refer to any end of the world scenario.
