Just curious..why do you use C.E. instead of A.D.

You can say it both ways I guess...

C.E. is either common era or Christian era and A.D. is medieval Latin for "In the year of our Lord."

I’ve alway understood that the C.E. designation is the new PC way to express dates.

I never heard of Anno Domino, A.D. as being medievil latin though. Thought it was just latin.
