Keep after me!

"2018 in the year of our lord"

or

"In the year of our lord 2018"?

Let's see how you use the word "gender".

Both identical in my mind.

Gender? Don’t see the connection, but I’m a woman who has always adored men. I LOVE being female. And I feel sad around people who are confused about their gender, and furious that people try to put that onto innocent children.

Apparently it’s NOT canonical. Just checked Wikpedia (yes, I know) and dates given as

Roman and Byzantine Egypt 30 BC–641 AD

Maybe you’re playing with the religious aspect of the dates and trying to make a point that’s on the edge? My only interest in BC and AD is tradition. I see no reason for today’s social scientists to try to get the historical religious information out as if it didn’t exist, so I refuse to use the new BCE. But I see no reason to emphasize anything religious in dating. It’s historical to me only. Nothing about religion.
